*	LibreOffice Software Suite: On September 28th 2010 several members of the OpenOffice.org project formed a new group called The Document Foundation. The Document Foundation created LibreOffice from their former project in response to Oracle Corporation's purchasing of Sun Microsystems over concerns that Oracle would either discontinue OpenOffice.org, or place restrictions on it as an open source project, as it had on Sun's OpenSolaris. It was originally hoped that the LibreOffice name would be provisional, as Oracle was invited to become a member of The Document Foundation. Oracle rejected offers to donate the OpenOffice.org brand to the project and demanded that all members of the OpenOffice.org Community Council involved with The Document Foundation step down from the OOo Community Council, citing a conflict of interest. The Go-oo project was discontinued in favour of LibreOffice. Improvements made by the project are being merged into LibreOffice. Enhancements made in other forks are also expected to be incorporated into LibreOffice. Also underway is the reduction of Java dependency, with the goal of minimizing security issues and improving application stability. As a result of the fork of OpenOffice.org into LibreOffice, and the resulting loss of developers, Oracle announced in April 2011 that it was terminating the commercial development of OpenOffice.org. In June 2011, Oracle announced that it would contribute the OpenOffice.org code and trademark to the Apache Software Foundation, which decided to accept the offer and start an incubation process within the foundation. Google and Red Hat began to contribute programmers to LibreOffice in June 2011. So all hail LibreOffice, come visit the LibreOffice portion of our Office Software Suite Section on our Technology Page for more information. Keep on top of news announcements, developer tools, reviews, videos, new enhancements, and more. * LibreOffice runs on: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Unix, and more platforms. It truly is a cross platform office suite package and... * (Update) LibreOffice for Android: Effective October 2015, the Document Foundation is proud to present LibreOffice Viewer for Android in this initial attempt to provide LibreOffice for the Android Operating system and platform of products (phones and tablets). It is now available for download on Google Play. The problem has been scaling the LibreOffice suite small enough to fit and run on most ARM processor based systems. Editing is still an experimental feature which has to be enabled separately in the settings, and is not stable enough for mission critical tasks. It will be enhanced in the future to a fully fledged editing solution with the help of developers. Visit the LibreOffice Android portion of our Office Software Suite Section on our Technology Page for more information. December 2nd 2015
