On September 28th, 2010, The Document Foundation was announced. The last six months, it feels, have just passed within a short glimpse of time. Not only did we release three LibreOffice versions within three months, have created the LibreOffice-Box DVD image, and brought LibreOffice Portable on its way. We also have announced the LibreOffice Conference for October 2011 and have taken part in lots of events worldwide, with FOSDEM and CeBIT being the most prominent ones.
People follow us at Twitter, Identi.ca, XING, LinkedIn and a Facebook group and fan page, they discuss on our mailing lists with more than 6.000 subscriptions, collaborate in our wiki, get insight on our daily work in our blog, and post and blog themselves. From the very first day, openness, transparency and meritocracy have been shaping the framework we want to work in. Our discussions and decisions take place on a public mailing list, and regularly, we hold phone conferences for the Steering Committee and for the marketing teams, where everyone is invited to join. Our ideas and visions have made their way into our Next Decade Manifesto.
We have joined the Open Invention Network as well as the OpenDoc Society, and just last week have become an SPI-associated project, and we see a wide range of support from all over the world. Not only do Novell and Red Hat support our efforts with developers, but just recently, Canonical, creators of Ubuntu, joined as well. All major Linux distributions deliver LibreOffice with their operating systems, and more follow every day.
One of the most stunning contributions, that still leaves us speechless, is the support that we receive from the community. When we asked for 50,000 € capital stock for a German-based foundation, the community showed their support, appreciation and their power, and not only donated it in just eight days, but up to now has supported us with close to 100,000 €! Another one is that driven by our open, vendor neutral approach, combined with our easy hacks, we have included code contributions from over 150 entirely new developers to the project, alongside localisations from over 50 localizers. The community has developed itself better than we could ever dream of, and first meetings like the project's weekend or the QA meeting of the Germanophone group are already being organized.
What we have seen now is just the beginning of something very big. The Document Foundation has a vision, and the creation of the foundation in Germany is about to happen soon. LibreOffice has been downloaded over 350,000 times within the first week, and we just counted more than 1,3 million downloads just from our download system -- not counting packages directly delivered by Linux distributors, other download sites or DVDs included in magazines and newspapers -- supported by 65 mirrors from all over the world, and millions already use and contribute to it worldwide. With our participation in the Google Summer of Code, we will engage more students and young developers to be part of our community. Our improved release schedule will ensure that new features and improvements will make their way to end-users soon, and for testers, we even provide daily builds.
We are so excited by what has been achieved over the last six months, and we are immensely grateful to all those who have supported the project in whatever ways they can. It is an honour to be working with you, to be part of one united community! The future as we are shaping it has just begun, and it will be bright and excellent.

A reason for leaving OpenOffice.org
Chào các bác,
Em nhận được email này của một người bỏ OpenOffice.
Và họ trình bày lý do, rất thật, có tính đóng góp.
- OOO quá già cỗi, chỉ đi lo copy MSO, không thay đổi nhiều.
- Không tích hợp với các app khác nhau Firefox hay Thunderbird.
-> có lẽ họ cần một office suite giống y những gì mà MSO đã/đang/sẽ làm.
LibO đang chuẩn bị, nhưng chưa làm được gì nhiều ngoài việc
sửa lỗi (hầu như chưa thêm chức năng)
Các bác tham khảo.

Dear OpenOffice Crew,
In fact i am/was a very satisfied OpenOffice customer. Ive been using it for 4 years now and i never had a problem. But for the last time (let's say for about a year) OpenOffice is getting worse instead of improving. Its getting more and more likely to its greatest concurrent - Microsoft's Word - with all the good, but moreover the negative aspects :
-whenever you work with more than 3 OpenOffice documents at a time, the program gets very slow, the spell-checker stops to work, copy-pasting gets impossible (yes : impossible : you can copy but you cannot paste anymore)
-if you try to copy a text/image from an internet browser (it doesnt matter if mozilla or microsoft, i tried them all) OpenOffice just "hangs" itself up and you have to restart it.
-ive had the version 3.2 of OpenOffice, which already had all the problems listed above. But just now i downloaded the 3.3 version : what a mess! i just wanted to print a text, but when the "print" box opend, i was shocked : there was a completely different menu ! what happened to the old one? it is as if OpenOffice would not recognize my HP printer anymore ! i was always used to choose the "quick/economical printing" menu, but it was gone ! i cannot change any printing modalities anymore !!! what should i do? de-install and re-install my printer? sorry guys/gals but i prefer to kick Open Office from my computer !
To resume, OpenOffice has 2 huge problems at the moment :
1) it degraded itself to a simple copy-cat of Microsoft and lost all aspects of individuality and innovation. where are the new ideas? stop just copying world'st most popular text-program in the hope of getting a piece of the cake. You'll just loose your "good old" clients
2) another major problem is the compatibility with other programs. Whenever something else than OpenOffice is in the game (Microsoft, HP, Mozilla) you'll be sure you'll get some problems
By the way let me say that I am not a big fan of pointless criticising, i just want to give you some points you hopefully will reflect on.
Dear regards
