For those who don’t know, LibreOffice is developed by an open source organization called The Document Foundation (TDF). The reason is, since Oracle acquired Sun, OpenOffice has belonged to Oracle and therefore has a very dark future for the open source community. They slow down the development of OpenOffice, they didn’t accept contribution from community (Go-oo is a great example). In the past, they had acquired many great applications and most of them have come to extinction.
Aware of that, TDF has taken the development of OpenOffice and develope a new office suite called LibreOffice. Many of the developers of TDF were also the developers of OpenOffice before they were fired by Oracle. From Ubuntu 11.04, LibreOffice will officially replace OpenOffice in default installation. Compared to OpenOffice, LibreOffice uses the code from Go-oo, which means better integration with Microsoft format, and (claim to be) faster startup, too.
So, what about your opinion? Are you going to give LibreOffice a try?
