#OpenOffice

2025-11-26

#openoffice has a very weird stance on the nobility of making commits to a dead project like adding/removing spaces in comments and trying to portray it as active development.

This is actually the closest I've ever seen to the project making some kind of official comment on their behaviour, even if the response is to intentionally misunderstand the question.

Obviously, AOO is being kept alive for a reason, and they aren't interested in telling people what it is.

Either way, make sure people know to use #libreoffice =)

A screenshot from Apache OpenOffice's post on Facebook announcing the release of version 4.1.16.

The comment from me on their post: "Why are resources still being devoted to this project? Why is its commit history for years almost entirely filled with pointless commits like "cleanup", "fix typos" and no actual substantive change? Is it some kind of contractual obligation to present a facade of ongoing development? Either way, it's a horrible look for the Apache Foundation."

Their response: "Ian McLean Why do you think these are pointless? So you spend no time on layout, fix typos in your posts? you do not care about spelling?
We think every effort has value and every volunteer effort is welcome.
Volunteers are not a resource. We spend our free time pro bono on Apache OpenOffice. Why is it so hard for people to respect this?
Do you review yourself as a resource that is deployed like a machine?"

Dites, y'en a parmi vous qui ont déjà configuré des tailles d'impression exotiques sur LibreOffice/OpenOffice ?

Typiquement pour imprimer sur des tickets de caisse, c'est-à-dire des rouleaux de 80mm de large sur 2000 cm de long.

Ça change la taille de la police de caractères en fonction de la taille de page configurée dans LibreOffice.

Orrr.... Microsoft Family 365 ist ausgelaufen. Über Jahre hatte ich immer an Black Friday ne Lizenz für 50-70€ besorgt. Jetzt: 98€. Gestern: 104€. 😒
Ok. 1 Jahr noch. Das Jahr nutze ich die Familie auf #OpenOffice vorzubereiten.

Verschont mich mit "Microsoft ist böse", "USA ist böse", "KI ist böse". Das weiß ich alles. Aber ich hab auch nur endlich Zeit mich mit dem Zeugs zu beschäftigen. Das Office-Paket ist nicht unser größtes Problem.

@crossgolf_rebel @libreoffice Sogar die Oberfläche von #OpenOffice sieht besser aus, ist smoother und klarer.

Die #LibreOffice-Oberfläche ist einfach nur eine uneinheitliche Bastelei…

Making a simple form in LibreOffice Base to do the equivalent of a minimal Google Form, but local instead of sending the data to Google.

Here's where I'm stuck: How do I rig up a button that saves the current record *and* starts a new one? Do I have to write a macro for this?

Who decided to add fucking AI to OpenOffice bcuz I just want to talk, pay no attention to the baseball bat in my hands. I'm so fucking sick of this shit EVERYWHERE. LEAVE ME ALONE. NO ONE WANTS YOUR PLAGIARIZING SHIT GENERATORS.

Can't even get fuckin tech support for my computer bcuz they fired everybody to only have live support open for 4 hours a day so their stupid chat bot that can't walk or chew gum at the same time or deal with Linux isn't a complete waste of resources! #OpenOffice #Linux

The MS Office Open XML standard has been around for about 18 years. Open / LibreOffice has been around with an XML standard that's even older than that. Why do I still get emails with file attachments in .DOC format?

Am I alone in still getting old style MS Office files from organizations in my inbox? Unfortunately antiword is long unmaintained, so terminal viewing is a challenge.

Nesta terça-feira de software, vamos nos lembrar de derivados, vulgos forks, notáveis? :branch: Cito um "hard fork" — quando segue em desenvolvimento totalmente independente do original — digno de constantes aplausos:

:libreoffice: LibreOffice iniciou como derivação do OpenOffice.org — este divulgado no Brasil como "BROffice" por questões de marca — após a incorporação de Sun Microsystems por #Oracle (2010). Com raízes privativas (StarOffice) que datam de 1985, OpenOffice tinha sido libertado pela Sun em 2000. Após a dissolução desta, em 2010, :oracle: teria se recusado a cumprir uma promessa de passar o projeto a uma fundação. Apenas em 2011 doou os ativos relacionados — bem como de alguns outros projetos então liderados pela Sun — para :apache: Apache Software Foundation. Contudo, o desenvolvimento do agora chamado Apache OpenOffice estagnou, pois a maioria das pessoas responsáveis já tinha criado sua própria entidade, The Document Foundation, em setembro de 2010, dedicada a essa causa.

Vi apenas agora que #LibreOffice já foi citado hoje. Porém, como já tinha escrito boa parte do trecho acima, insisto por sua elevada importância, inclusive em prol da adoção de formatos de arquivo não privativos sem os quais você não sabe se amanhã terá pleno acesso a seu conteúdo.

Convém sempre lembrar que tamanha possibilidade de derivação de trabalhos de programação é consequência direta das liberdades essenciais que temos apenas com software livre, em especial das liberdades 1 — poder estudar como o programa funciona e adaptá-lo às nossas necessidades — e 3 — a liberdade de distribuir cópias de nossas versões modificadas para que toda a comunidade tenha a chance de se beneficiar das alterações. 💌

Bin weiter am Basteln. Hab mal angefangen mit #OpenOffice das Spielprinzip zu überlegen, die Programmierung kommt später.

Der Käse von F2 wird auf B2 verschoben. Die Maus sieht diesen und bewegt sich Richtung B2. Wenn sie in B4 vorbeikommt, sieht die Katze die Maus und rennt los. Aber bis sie bei B4 ankommt, ist die Maus schon um die Ecke und die Katze bleibt stehen.

Damit es nicht zu einfach wird, muss es beweglichen Käse geben und irgendwas unbewegliches.

#Kotlin #AndroidDev #IndieGameDev

eine App für Android in der Entwicklungsumgebung. Mit OpenOffice wird das Spielprinzip überlegt.
