Yesterday was the first birthday of the LibreOffice project. In case you haven’t heard of it, LibreOffice is a free software office suite based on OpenOffice.org. The project was started when OpenOffice’s sponsor, Sun Microsystems, got acquired by Oracle Corporation, and the future of OpenOffice became uncertain.
Ars Technica published an article that summarizes the first year of the project and lists its achievements – including reaching an estimated 25 millions of users, and attracting more developers committing code than OpenOffice did in a decade.
As LibreOffice users and proponents of free software, we would like to express our congratulations and wish the project best of luck in the future.
Happy Birthday, LibreOffice!
