Nytro Posted February 26, 2012 Report Posted February 26, 2012 [h=1]Intel Joins LibreOffice[/h] Thu, 2012-02-23 09:52 by Swapnil Bhartiya The month of February is a month to remember for the LibreOffuce project. They formally incorporated the foundation in Berlin, released 3.5 with major changes and now Intel is joining the foundation as a member. Intel will also make available the LibreOffice for Windows from SUSE in Intel AppUp center. Intel AppUp Center is an online repository designed for Intel processor-based devices."I have been using LibreOffice from day one for presentations at conferences and for data analysis," said Dawn Foster, open source community lead, Intel. "Our engineers have worked with the LibreOffice codebase to optimise it for Intel hardware. Adding it to the AppUp? Center is an obvious extension, and will provide an exciting feature for all Ultrabook users.""We are thrilled to add Intel to our existing roster of supporters", said Florian Effenberger, volunteer and TDF board member, "TDF is first and foremost a vendor neutral project committed to excellence in the office suite space, but we greatly value the support and advice we gain from organisations such as SUSE, Red Hat, Google, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and Software in the Public Interest (SPI)."LibreOffice has put open source office suite in direct competition with Microsoft's own offering. OpenOffice suffered stagnation and did not see any innovation or improvement for a long time.Sursa: Intel Joins LibreOffice | Muktware Quote
