- tialaramex 4y agoThe ASF didn't have to say yes, and didn't have to allow "Apache OpenOffice" to decay for years afterwards without putting a stop to it. The current Apache OpenOffice "Vice President" ie the leader of its developers such as they are, is Jim Jagielski, who was also an Apache Director back when a previous "Vice President" suggested the project should be wound up altogether. ASF should have accepted, they did not.
