[Fsfe-uk] Go OGo Go!

[Ramanan Selvaratnam]

Hello all,

It looks like some excellent news .....
<http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=746582&listName=announce>
....
"The OGo software provides document sharing capabilities for OpenOffice.org

documents and will enable users of MS Outlook (97/2000/XP), Ximian 
Evolution, Mozilla Calendar, OOo Glow (OpenOffice.org Groupware Project's 
client product), Apple's iCal and other standards-based groupware clients 
to collaborate."
....
"Stu Green, Managing Director of Open Source Professional Services, 
"The release of OGo means the OpenOffice.org suite is ready for the 
enterprise complete with full-featured and mature groupware solutions. 
These capabilities once and for all show how free software betters 
proprietary solutions that require licensing payments on both the client 
and server sides."
....
"OGo is licensed under the open source dual licenses, Lesser General Public 
License (LGPL) and the General Public License (GPL)"
....

The official site for the project is at 
<http://www.opengroupware.org/>


I remember an infromative discussion on this list about 'how completely 
enterprise ready' GNU/Linux was...
It will be helpful to know more informed points of views on this.
Only yesterday I met another former free software advocate who had been installing an NT system. 

Best wishes,

Ramanan
