LibreOffice: Ready for Liftoff

[Basil Chupin]

LibreOffice <http://www.libreoffice.org>, the Oracle-free fork of the 
OpenOffice 
<http://practical-tech.com/development/the-openoffice-fork-is-officially-here> 
office suite, may, or may not, end up being the default office suite in 
Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.com>, but its first release is almost here. 
Before getting into that though, there have been rumors running around 
that Canonical <http://www.canonmical.com>, the company behind Ubuntu, 
had already committed to using LibreOffice in its next release, Ubuntu 
11.04 <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current>. True, Ubuntu has 
always been interested in replacing OpenOffice with LibreOffice Indeed, 
Mark Shuttleworth told me back when LibreOffice was starting to break 
away from OpenOffice that, "The Ubuntu Project will be pleased to ship 
LibreOffice 
<http://practical-tech.com/development/openoffice-goes-its-own-way/> 
from The Document Foundation in future releases of Ubuntu. That's not 
the same thing though as saying it's going to ship in Ubuntu 11.04
