REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 1, 2011) - "With today's proposal to
contribute the OpenOffice.org code to The Apache Software Foundation's
Incubator, Oracle continues to demonstrate its commitment to the developer
and open source communities. Donating OpenOffice.org to Apache gives this
popular consumer software a mature, open, and well established
infrastructure to continue well into the future. The Apache Software
Foundation's model makes it possible for commercial and individual volunteer
contributors to collaborate on open source product development." -- Luke
Kowalski, vice president, Oracle Corporate Architecture Group.

as well as those with robust developer communities, global user bases, and
strong corporate backing." -- Jim Jagielski, president, The Apache Software
Foundation. Mr. Jagielski is also the proposed podling mentor for the

incubation process for OpenOffice at Apache." -- Kevin Cavanaugh, Vice
President, IBM Collaboration Solutions.
