| OEone teams with OpenOffice.org |
Aug. 21, 2002
Hull, Quebec -- (press release excerpt) -- OEone Corporation announced today their commitment to participate in the OpenOffice.org Groupware Project. The effort aims to establish standards-compliant groupware solutions that will work from within the OpenOffice.org office suite and permit an easy migration from the existing StarOffice 5.2 mail, news, schedule, and schedule server system.
OEone's participation in the OpenOffice.org Groupware project will be an example of what can result when the open-source community works jointly on open-source projects like the Mozilla project and the OpenOffice.org project. OEone contributed the major portion of the Mozilla Calendar. The OpenOffice.org groupware project has also contributed to the Mozilla Calendar. The next logical step is to integrate calendar data into OpenOffice.org.
Gary Frederick, Project Lead for the OpenOffice.org Groupware project, said, "OEone knows how to add applications into Mozilla. Their integration of Abiword is an example of how they successfully accomplished the blending of two open-source applications for mainstream use. OpenOffice.org has also worked with Mozilla in the past. The Abzilla project included both Mozilla developers and OpenOffice.org developers who worked together to achieve a successful release. OEone's participation in the OpenOffice.org project will guarantee another successful example of varied stakeholders collaborating on open-source projects. OEone's knowledge and expertise in Mozilla and the code they have contributed will ensure that we can use calendar information in OpenOffice.org's software. Their experience will also ensure that parts of OpenOffice.org can be dynamically integrated from Mozilla."
