[OpenIndiana-discuss] Request for volunteers: Building LibreOffice

[Lou Picciano]

(Damn! - I was even just a few mouseclicks away from heading to their conference in a few weeks, too. Paris: Oct 12.) 

I wish I were in a better position to help on this one. We _are_ investing heavily in the OpenDocument format and, thereby, LibreOffice itself to some extent, but I'm sure there are many here with 'portage' expertise well above my pay grade.

Hi All, 

http://alasdairrr.tumblr.com/post/10404734792/libreoffice 

We've been joined by a LibreOffice developer in #oi-dev, who is willing 
to help us with a port of LibreOffice to OpenIndiana. 

Unfortunately all the usual suspects who might work on this are tied up 
- so I'm mailing the lists to find out if anyone might be interested in 
collaborating with us on this? 

Ideally someone who steps forward should know their way around a 
Makefile pretty well and have ported software to Solaris before - 
LibreOffice is pretty big. 

Getting LibreOffice into OI would be a big win - it's an often requested 
package. 

Cheers, 

Alasdair
