Google hires employees for OpenOffice
Google plans to hire new staff to improve OpenOffice.org, a demonstration of its affinity for open-source initiatives and one the company believes also shows sound practical sense.
"We want to hire a couple of folks to help make OpenOffice better," a manager for open-source programs said.
OpenOffice has its roots in Sun Microsystems' StarOffice suite of programs. Five years ago, Sun turned its proprietary software into an open-source project. Only recently, the Microsoft Office competitor, has attracted serious attention.
