OUR VALUES
We commit ourselves:
to eliminate the digital divide in society by giving everyone access to office productivity tools free of charge, to enable them to participate as full citizens in the 21st centuryto support the preservation of mother tongues by encouraging all peoples to translate, document, support, and promote our office productivity tools in their mother tongueto allow users of office productivity software to retain the intellectual property in the documents they create, by use of open document formats and open standardsto an open and transparent peer-reviewed software development process where technical excellence is valued
Tribute to John McCreesh (1954 - 2016)
We reject:
the ownership of office productivity tools by monopoly suppliers, which imposes a de-facto tax on global electronic free speech and penalises the economically disadvantagedthe creeping domination of computer desktops by a single language, forcing people to learn a foreign language before they can express themselves electronicallythe ownership of file formats by proprietary software companies - documents belong to their creators, not software vendorsa closed software development process where errors can lie hidden and poor quality is accepted
OUR WAY OF WORKING
Our core values lead us to believe in the following way of working:
the home for our activities should be an independent self-governing democratic foundationmembership of the foundation will be open to any individual who agrees with our core values and contributes to our activitieswe encourage corporate participation, e.g. by sponsoring individuals to work as equals alongside other contributors in the community
