LibreOffice Is Getting Ready For Ubuntu 11.04

Posted by Michael Larabel on January 04, 2011

We've known that Canonical has been looking at LibreOffice replacing OpenOffice.org within Ubuntu and it looks like this packaging work is indeed materializing for the forthcoming Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" release.

This fork of OpenOffice.org by many of its developers away from Oracle has been gaining traction and while the name isn't the best, it's on its way into Ubuntu 11.04. There's an update in this ubuntu-devel message from yesterday where the LibreOffice packages are looking like they will be ready for Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2.
