Amahlebezi athi umnikelo omkhulu ka-Oracle kwisoftware yamahhala bekungacasula ingxenye enkulu yabathuthukisi be-OpenOffice kakhulu. FUTHIBona, bengazethembi izinhloso zenkampani, banquma ukusungula eyabo iphrojekthi.
Singaphikisana amahora amaningi uma i-Gimp ingenye ye-Photoshop noma uma noma ikuphi ukusatshalaliswa kwe-Linux kungcono kune-Windows. Kepha ngo-2009, akekho noyedwa engqondweni yabo owayengasho ukuthi i-OpenOffice iyindlela evumelekile ye-Microsoft Office.. Eqinisweni, ukusatshalaliswa okuningi kweLinux kuza nohlobo oluthuthukiswe kancane olubizwa nge-OpenOffice Go futhi baletha izinqolobane zabo (okungenani Ubuntu) umfundi wamafomethi wefayela le-Microsoft Office aqhutshwa ngaphansi kwewayini.
Konke kwashintsha lapho Iqembu lonjiniyela linqume ukudala iphrojekthi ezimele ngokuhlanganisa ikhodi ye-OpenOffice ne-OpenOffice Go, ngaleyo ndlela yakha i-LibreOfficfuthi. Ngasikhathi sinye, bakha ibhizinisi ukuze baqinisekise ukuxhaswa kwemali nokuqhubeka kwephrojekthi. I-Document Foundation.
Ngokwami, angithandi ukukhuluma ngesoftware yamahhala maqondana no-A njengenye indlela eya kuB. Futhi angikugcizeleli ukufaneleka kwefilosofi yamalayisense amahhala. Ngicabanga ukuthi uma ungeke ukwazi ukusebenzisa izici zohlelo uqobo ukuluncomela, khona-ke ayifanele isincomo. Amandla okufunda nokuguqula ikhodi ayisebenzi uma ungeyena umqambi wohlelo, ukwazi ukugcina amadokhumende wakho wazi ukuthi amandla okuwafinyelela ngokuzayo akancikile ekuthandeni kwenkampani.
Kuzalwa inkanyezi
Umsuka walokho esikwaziyo namuhla njengeLibreOffice hAke sizilandele emuva kuma-80s lapho umqambi wezinhlelo waseJalimane ogama lakhe linguMarco Börries enza iprosesa yamagama yamakhompyutha asekhaya neMS-DOS ebizwa ngeStarWriter.. Ngemuva kwalokho wasungula iStar Division. Ngemuva kwalokho kwengezwa uhlelo lwespredishithi nokudweba ngakho abathathu bathengiswa ngaphansi kwegama elithi StarOffice. Uhlobo lwesibili lwe-suite seluvele lusebenze neMac.
Eminyakeni ethile ngemuva kwalokho, umkhiqizi wehadiwe obizwa ngeSun Microsystem uthenge inkampani kwaBörries. USun wayengenalo isiko lokusabalalisa i-software enjalo, futhi abanye bakholelwa ukuthi kwakushibhile kubo ukuthenga inkampani eyenza ama-software suites kunokukhokha iMicrosoft lokho acele amalayisense ezinkulungwane zakhe zabasebenzi.
Akunakulinganiswa njengoba kubonakala uma ucabanga lokho ngo-2000 ifemu yavumela ukulandwa kwamahhala kweStarOffice 5.2 yaphinde yayisabalalisa kumaCD atholakala komagazini.
Eminyakeni ethile ngaphambili, iNetscape Communications, yehluleka ukuncintisana neMicrosoft, Nganginqume ukukhipha ikhodi yomthombo yesiphequluli seNetscape. Lokho bekuyisisekelo sesiphequluli esisaziyo namuhla njengeFirefox.
ILanga linqume ukulandela indlela efanayo futhi yakhipha ikhodi ye-StarOffice ngo-2000. Eminyakeni emibili kamuva kwafika i-OpenOffice.org 1.0.
U-2005 usilethele inguqulo 2.0 nefomethi entsha yefayela. Ifomethi evulekile yedokhumenti (ODF). Umqondo bekungukuthi imibhalo eyenziwe nge-OpenOffice ingafundwa yinoma yiluphi olunye uhlelo oluqinisekisa ukuthi ingahlala itholakala.
Namuhla ngisho neMicrosoft Office iyayisekela ifomethi ye-ODF, futhi ngasikhathi sinye, inguqulo entsha ngayinye yeLibreOfice ithuthukisa ukusekelwa kwamafayela omdabu alelo suite lehhovisi.
Yini ebangela ikhodi. Iqhaza LeThe Document Foundation
Ngemuva kwephrojekthi yeLibreOffice yiThe Document Foundation. TI-DF yadalwa njengesisekelo sokusiza ngaphansi komthetho waseJalimane. Ibhizinisi livulelekile ukubamba iqhaza kwabantu kanye nezinkampani nezifundazwe.
Esitatimendeni sayo semishini ithi
Umsebenzi we-Document Foundation ukwenza kube lula ukuvela koMphakathi weLibreOffice ube yinhlangano entsha, evulekile, ezimele nenenhlonipho. Isisekelo esizimele sikhombisa ngokwanele amagugu abanikeli bethu, abasebenzisi, nabasekeli bethu, okuvumela umphakathi osebenza kahle, osebenza kahle futhi obala. I-TDF izovikela utshalomali olwedlule ngokwakhela phezu kwempumelelo yeminyaka eyishumi yokuqala ngeOpenOffice.org, ikhuthaze ukubamba iqhaza okubanzi emphakathini, futhi iqondise imisebenzi kuwo wonke umphakathi.
