Poll: Would you agree if Canonical decide to replace !libreoffice with !openoffice on !ubuntu 12.10?
about a year ago from web- Hilton Garcia Fernandes, noclip and trepptower like this.
- idoric, Charles-H. Schulz and Vecchio Balordo and 10 others repeated this.
-
@identicats Oh please no, not the pollspam again.
-
The question IS hypothetical RIGHT? Replacing !libreoffice with !openoffice at this stage would be madness
-
Who agreed anyway? The agreeing voter is not showing up in my !identicurse thread
-
@identicats Well, if they did, that would be one distribution using #OpenOffice. IMO Canonical are known for making bad decisions... Mono :D
-
@identicats Canonical is an outright sponsor of LibreOffice. I don't seem them switching away.

voted for "disagree"

I have used both, and I see so little difference between them. LibreOffice is entirely free. So unless there is an option I am unaware of...
-
Not that I use Ubuntu, but I just wonder why anyone would do this. Unless you were paid to, of course.
-
what that good for?
-
I think LibreOffice is more innovative. Now, OpenOffice could be added to a specific "corporate spin" for companies.
-
@gamerchick02 And do you think there is a plan for that? Is just a form of poll spamming...
-
No idea.
-
Is there any word of this potentially happening?
-
@passthejoe Why would you have to upgrade to stream to a roku instead of a pc? They're basically the same thing...
-
My plan is older than dirt: http://identi.ca/url/72786171
-
It floated to the top. Somebody must've let go while they were trying to drown it.
-
Like Canonical gives a !$^%$ whether a bunch of geeks agrees with anything it does.
-
.@passthejoe like the question is at all relevant right now, with 12.10 3 months away and both OOo and LibO progressing fast. !ubuntu

I'd rather they work on becoming a GNU/Linux distro that respects freedom instead of swapping out productivity suites. http://ur1.ca/9sfxs

@jxself Or if, at least, they worked on reverse-engineering the things they need to create a full !FAIF distro.
-
@jxself Flash, wireless and graphics drivers, better support for the Unarchiver. They could open-source their Ubuntu One server code too.
-
@jxself Also they could provide freemium VoIP, mail, and social networking like they already do with Ubuntu One.
-
@csolisr They could indeed do all of those things most of which are probably more important than the question of what office suite is used.
-
@csolisr But one thing they should not be doing, but presently are, is making a GNU/Linux distro with non-free software in it.
-
@loug The argument that adding proprietary software makes it more popular means confusing means with ends.
-
@loug Not if it means veering off at an angle and settling for something less than freedom, like mere "popularity." See http://ur1.ca/6z8
