It goes without saying that if I have a heavy day of work and home 'stuff', I'll have a light day on the blog, as you may notice.
It seems that all has calmed down over at OpenOffice Marketing, some points were made. I don't think anyone lost face. As a very calm rational person, I find it quite interesting to observe emotional people. It did make me realise though that OSS groups can work with 'corporates'. It requires open-minds and a lot of trust both ways. It can even come out win/win. After watching this exchange, I'm actually happier now with Sun's involvement with OOo and I realise I nedd a better understanding of Open Source licences namely LGPL and SISSL.
Anyway Firefox 1.5 beta is due out in a week. I'm not overly excited because I've been using Deer Park Alpha 2 since it came out at work. However I'll back-track to FF 1.5 because there are a few extensions for FF that are not available for DP, namely what appears to be a web-based bookmark extension that syncs your bookmarks for multiple locations. That will sort me out for home & work.

!n the OSs suite, I think it s a great pity that one application that seems to have been avoided, is a contacts database management system, similar to Outlook. Perhaps this will surface in later variants!
