“The OpenOffice graduation is the official recognition that the project is now able to self-manage not only in technical matters, but also in community issues,” said Andrea Pescetti, vice president of Apache OpenOffice, in a statement. “The incubation process allowed experienced Apache contributors to mentor the project, helping both new and established OpenOffice contributors build an Apache-style community that is both open and diverse.” “The graduation of OpenOffice is testament to The Apache Way successfully scaling from incubating ‘ingredient brands’ to a highly established end-user product,” ASF executive vice president and Apache OpenOffice mentor Ross Gardler, said in a statement. Oracle completed its acquisition of Sun in 2010 and a year later donated the OpenOffice code to Apache. Sun Microsystems acquired Star Division in 1999. The technology started out as StarOffice-created by Star Division-in 1984.
Though relatively new to Apache, the OpenOffice open-source office productivity software suite has been around for more than 25 years. The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has announced that Apache OpenOffice has graduated from the Apache incubator to become a top-level project (TLP).
