OpenOffice which company wrote it

The history comes from Star Division, a software company founded in Germany in the mid-eighties of the last century, which produces an office software called StarOffice, and the market is mainly concentrated in Europe. Because of the advantages of low cost, stability, cross-platform, and sufficient functions, it has been well received by users. Sun Microsystems recognized the need for such an alternative to proprietary software and believed that both the company's vision and strategy and StarOffice's technical background aligned with such market needs and trends.3

Sun acquired Star Division in August 1999 and funded the establishment of the community in July of the following year. In October of the same year, most of Staroffice's sources** (about 8 million lines) were announced, making it one of the world's three major open source communities (the other two being Mozilla and Apache); In December, the XML file format specification was released. In July 2001, the development kit was released.

In May 2002, it was officially released. In March 2003, the first annual meeting of 20034 was held in Hamburg, Germany. October 2003, released.

For now, it's Oracle Oracle.

It wasn't his before. It was acquired later. Nowadays, every big IT company has its own office software, and it will not use Microsoft. I'm afraid of a lawsuit.

Now there is a branch of OpenOffice developed by Google called LibreOffice, which is relatively good!

openoffice.ORG is not only an office software product, it is also a development platform, developers can build their own products based on the APIs it provides, design and implement complete solutions; It is also an online community where thousands of users and software developers around the world communicate every day; It is also a belief: office software, a productivity tool, has become a necessary part of the information infrastructure of society, and OpenOffice

It is through the open source community that ORG makes it serve a wider range of people and promotes the informatization of the whole society.

Now it's Sun that buys Open Office.
