===OpenOffice.org issue=== A number of [[OpenOffice.org]] developers formed [[The Document Foundation]] and received backing by Google, Novell, Red Hat, and Canonical, as well as some others, but were unable to get Oracle to donate the brand OpenOffice.org, causing a fork in the development of OpenOffice.org with the foundation now developing and promoting [[LibreOffice]]. Oracle expressed no interest in sponsoring the new project and asked the OpenOffice.org developers that started the project to resign from the company due to "conflicts of interest". On November 1, 2010, 33 of the OpenOffice.org developers gave their letters of resignation.<ref name="And So The Exodus Begins 33 OpenOffice.org Developers Leave Oracle">{{cite web |date=November 1, 2010 |title=And So The Exodus Begins β 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org |url=http://digitizor.com/2010/11/01/and-so-the-exodus-begins-33-developers-leave-openoffice-org/ |access-date=July 7, 2011 |publisher=Digitizor.com}}</ref> On June 1, 2011, Oracle donated OpenOffice.org to the [[Apache Software Foundation]].<ref>{{cite web |date=June 1, 2011 |title=Oracle Donates OpenOffice to the Apache Software Foundation |url=http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/oracle_donates_openoffice_to_the_apache_software_f.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110902023720/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/oracle_donates_openoffice_to_the_apache_software_f.php |archive-date=September 2, 2011 |access-date=September 5, 2011 |publisher=ReadWriteWeb |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
