It's time to make LibreOffice and OpenOffice one again
Let's talk about OpenOffice. More than likely you've already read, countless times, that Apache OpenOffice is near the end. The last stable iteration was 4.1.2 (released October, 2015) and a recent major security flaw took a month to patch. A lack of coders has brought development to a creeping crawl. And then, the worst possible news hit the ether; the project suggested users switch to MS Office (or LibreOffice).
For whom the bells tolls? The bell tolls for thee, OpenOffice.
I'm going to say something that might ruffle a few feathers. Are you ready for it?
The end of OpenOffice will be a good thing for open source and for users.
