IBM Joins OpenOffice.org Community

09/12/2007 9:42 AM By Keith Strickland

I found this tidbit on Lockergnome this morning. I think this is great news to hear that IBM is getting more and more involved in the Opensource community. But is that really a surprise for the company that has embraced sites like OpenNTF that they are getting MORE involved in OpenSource? I don't think it's that big of a surprise, but it is nice to see IBM get back in the Office Suite arena. I believe it's even more noble that they will be sharing some of the usability enhancements and initial code developed for Lotus Notes in order to improve the OpenOffice.org Office Suite which hopefully will take some market share away from Micro$oft.

If you're so inclined, you can see the text of the press release here.
