I looked but can't find the option.... I guess I was dreaming. I just see where to set the time zone, but that's it.

I looked, too, after you'd said that. Couldn't find it either.

The quote said development "forked" (or something like that). Is that what Libre Office is? The open development community's "fork" of OO?

No. They did something much more wise than that.
They created a whole new world wide foundation.... Open Document Foundation... of which Libre Office is a part.

So it's not really a Fork - It's the whole table setting.

So is your thought that OO will atrophy in the near future as development and support fade?

UPDATE...

For those who thought OO was fading back in September of 2011 (Carl ), there was an update in August of this year:

I use Linux for whatever I can and I enjoy all the free stuff, but I will also gladly pay for software that works well.
I was using Abiword (also open source) for word processing, but found Libreoffice had a few more features that I needed. Gnumeric is also a really good open source spreadsheet program. I have been using Opera (browser) lately and it seems good. I liked that the Opera package seemed mostly self-contained so it didn't need to pull in a lot of extra dependencies/libraries.

Hey, that's good to know... I guess now the only thing that has faded is their use of *me* in pushing their software

That's me, back in 2009, doing their spot for them, introducing of 3.1. (before their big company changes)

The moderator of forum of your link for OO did point out a big caution:
"Every release [of OO] we get anguished cries for help from Users who have transition problems, sometimes even amounting to total project loss."

Yeah, I saw that. People who have issues bringing their old documents into the new version of the program. Bummer. I think it's a small minority of users, but, still...

Sometimes you still get what you pay for, I suppose.

Nice work, BTW, Carl. Did they have cash money to pay you back then? Cool. I love when that happens.

In the spirit of "Open Source" - I did likewise in gratitude and desire to see it move forward ('back' then).
