<h2>OpenOffice.org Joins Apache Incubator</h2>
<p>On June 1, 2011, Oracle announced that it was donating OpenOffice.org's code to
<a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/statements-on-openofficeorg-contribution-to-apache-nasdaq-orcl-1521400.htm">The Apache Software Foundation's Incubator.</a>
The Apache OpenOffice "podling" <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/">http://openoffice.apache.org/</a> site was established on June 13, 2011.

<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.

<p><em>20 October 2008:</em> <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/">NetBeans</a>, the open-source platform and IDE for Java development celebrates its 10th
birthday 20 October, a week after OpenOffice.org celebrated its 8th. But the interesting point about NetBeans for OpenOffice.org developers is its
integration with OpenOffice.org. With NetBeans, one can easily write extensions, and that's only a start.
