Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Latest newsletter from SourceForge re: AOO

Hi :)
I think that the definitive rulings made by BoD members in that thread suggest that LO is not ready 
for corporate uptake yet.  

LO's definition of stable seems to be about the opposite of most people's definition.  LO appears 
to think something is stable  when something is so new that no-one has yet found the problems that 
we know we can expect when a ton of exciting new features have been added.  

By not releasing so often AOO seems less likely to add regressions and new problems.  Unfortunately 
they will still be stuck with old problems that LO has already solved but at least most of those 
are known issues.  

At least AOO has not ruled-out the types of things that corporate organisations are likely to want 
in the way that LO has.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

and that makes you think LibreOffice is unsuitable for corporate deployment, but Apache, who just 
released one version so far, with no details on LTS plannings, are suitable? Strange perception. ;-)

I agree that we can improve things on our side, we always can do that, but claiming LibreOffice is 
not suitable for corporations is simply painfully wrong.
