<h2>The Apache Software Foundation Statement on Apache OpenOffice</h2> | |
<p><em>14 October 2011:</em> On 1 June 2011, Oracle Corporation submitted the OpenOffice.org code base to The Apache | |
Software Foundation. That submission was accepted, and the project is now being developed as a podling in the Apache | |
Incubator under the ASF's meritocratic process informally dubbed "The Apache Way". OpenOffice.org is now officially part | |
of the Apache family. The project is known as Apache OpenOffice. Over its 12-year history, the ASF has | |
welcomed contributions from individuals and organizations alike, but, as a policy, does not solicit code donations. The | |
OpenOffice.org code base was not pursued by the ASF prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator. | |
