I think community-wise, pretty much everyone gave up on OOo long ago.
Office suites are not exactly the favorite apps of geeks to begin with,
and Sun did its best to drive away those who were interested. IIRC, the
LibreOffice "team" is pretty much all corporate and corporate wannabes,
except for some orgs who I assume won't actually be contributing
anything other than bile about Oracle, so I doubt much is really going
to change. That said, if this means OOo goes Java-free, then hooray for
LibreOffice.
