Open Office divorcing Sun and to be called LibreOffice

To quote from the article:

While OpenOffice had a successful development track record, it was also the code base for Sun's StarOffice so features were broadly developed to serve that goal.
From now on, though, OpenOffice's development and direction will be decided by a steering committee of developers and national language project managers.

Hopefully, this will mean that LibreOffice can take the development into different, more creative directions dictated by what users want than what will serve Sun Office. Mind you, I'm grateful for all the features that are currently in the OO suite, which have been at least partly driven by user feedback. I use the suite myself on a regular basis. I think that it can do better than aping that other commercial office suite.
