See all the developers left Sun because of some of the things Sun was doing so they branched out to create libreoffice.<br /><br />Being that this was a recent post I would hope that it would be upto date with stuff about the Open Source community that is over 2 years old. OpenOffice is kinda going the way side since the Developers have move on..<br /><br />Also Need to promote FLDigi more.Donald Ohsehttp://w5mwc.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490741548532838419.post-56789536871314583382012-05-07T10:40:52.675-04:002012-05-07T10:40:52.675-04:00Stan,

I too have used Open Office but it is quite limited in its DTP "tricks", so I'm going to give Scribus a try.<br /><br /> You are so right about open-source software - some of the VERY best stuff out there is open source.<br /><br />73, Bill K8WHBWilliam Bowennoreply@blogger.com
