One of the big news in the world of open source in 2010 this was the separation of OpenOffice.org developers from their big boss, Oracle, and formed his own group with the name of The Document Foundation (TDF).

When announcing the existence of himself to the public, TDF has been supported by various parties such as Google, Canonical, the Free Software Foundation, the Open Source Initiative, Novell, Red Hat and many more.

By separating themselves from Oracle, TDF make their own office suite with LibreOffice name. TDF was originally planned to use the name of OpenOffice.org if allowed. Unfortunately Oracle refused an invitation to join in the TDF and including refusing to give a name to use OpenOffice.

Many Linux distributions are ready to replace OpenOffice with LibreOffice in the standard installation package. One of them is a million people distro, Ubuntu, as submitted by Mark Shuttleworth.

Attendance LibreOffice brought TDF is located at the right moment. LibreOffice present at the time the open source world is angry faces that treat Oracle Java with ‘arbitrarily.’ The question is whether it is worth considering LibreOffice presence?

According to one developer, Italo Vignoli, LibreOffice the future will be developed by considering some key points.

1. Source code rewrite every module in LibreOffice considering StarOffice source code derived from source code which is a long time.
2. Reducing dependence on Java LibreOffice.
3. Improvisation layout fidelity in Writer and Impress slideshow fidelity on. And the last is
4. Conversion of the office suite format other better.

One of the more value in LibreOffice was that he did not have a relationship with Oracle. Many open-source fans who ultimately makes the Oracle as a common enemy because his actions lately against open source projects owned by Sun Microsystems that has been bought.

On the other hand concerns about the presence of Mono, a project funded by Novell, into LibreOffice also quite large. This is evident from the presence of Michael Meeks in the TDF is a Novell employee and one of the developers in Go-OO-office suite work of a group of developers who are impatient with the progress of OpenOffice.org under the control of Sun Microsystems.

With all its pros and cons, it seems LibreOffice have a clear path forward rather than OpenOffice.org. Currently LibreOffice Release Candidate 1 version can be downloaded free for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice? The choice is yours.
