At the end of October 2010, 33 German volunteers, not involved with development, moved to The Document Foundation to support LibreOffice leaving. Instead Oracle rejected the project demanding that all members of the board involved resign. Oracle was extended an invitation to participate in the project as a member of The Document Foundation, asking them to donate the brand. The foundation stated that it will coordinate and oversee the development of LibreOffice. On September 28, 2010, members of the project formed a new group called The Document Foundation, making available a fork of called LibreOffice. These are the typical questions my students used to ask me, what is LibreOffice? Isn't there just a text editor? Is it the same as Office? Is it free? How do I install it? What things can be done with LibreOffice? Is it better or worse than Microsoft? Can you make presentations? Can you do calculations or write books? How do I install it? How do I download it? Is it safe? Can I make Pdfs ?, etc., etc. Much of this information comes on the official LibreOffice page, but it is true that people who do not know much about the subject find it complicated, so on this page I try to solve the questions that my students asked me, without much technical explanation, the simpler the better. I have given classes to people who were starting in computing, especially older people, they usually ask me these questions that are reflected on the page, if you already know enough about office automation this is not your page better go to the official page, this page is focused on people with little office automation knowledge.
