First of all, I would like to apologize if I somehow offended you. He was very
angry. I understand that achieving these improvements is not blowing and making
a bottle, but the truth is that I feel that they cared little and nothing about
my proposal, that they did not even take the trouble to analyze it and they
already had the "NO" at the beginning.
Apart from this, I insist, I believe that some ways of doing things in
LibreOffice distances potential users. Although the objective is not to cover a
market, but only I know LibreOffice in a company with about 7000 employees, it
is sad. LibreOffice must be aggiornarse to the new market. You can not stay in
the Windows 98 interface, with outdated policies; there is already an interface
change; A step has already been taken. But that is not enough. I want to see
LibreOffice doing TV advertising or when I go to work all the machines have
LibO installed.
I work in a company where during the more than 20 years that it has in the
market, the client cared little and nothing. To the point that there were
claims of technical failures with 7 years old. Now a larger company bought it
and dissolved it because repairing the damage done to its image was impossible.
Not even with the good image of the buyer.
To what I am going, the user is the one who makes LibreOffice, to a greater
extent. He is the one who recommends, contributes, uses.
