Go-oo (also Go-Open Office;〔 previously called ooo-build〔) was an office suite which started as a set of patches for OpenOffice.org, then later became an independent fork of OpenOffice.org with a number of enhancements, sponsored by Novell. ooo-build was started in 2003. The go-oo.org domain name was being used by 2005. The first separate release of Go-oo was 2.3.0, in October 2007. Go-oo was discontinued in favour of LibreOffice in September 2010.〔 Go-oo had better support for the Microsoft Office OOXML file formats than OpenOffice.org,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=odf-converter-integrator )〕 including write support, as well as other enhancements that had not been accepted upstream. Many free software advocates worried that Go-oo was a Novell effort to incorporate Microsoft technologies that might be vulnerable to patent claims. The hybrid PDF export (PDF that includes original source documents), Sun Presentation Minimizer, and other functionalities were directly available in Go-oo. The package branded "OpenOffice.org" in many popular Linux distributions was in fact Go-oo, not the upstream OpenOffice.org code.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bug #151829 in openoffice.org (Ubuntu): "Include go-oo in Ubuntu" )〕〔(Linux.com :: Go-OO: The best office suite you never knew you used )〕〔(Go-oo derivates in Linux distributions )〕 == History == The ooo-build patchset was started at Ximian in 2003, before that company was bought by Novell. This was originally because Sun were slow to accept outside patches to OpenOffice.org, even from corporate partners.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20031018013700/ooo.ximian.com/ooo-build.html〕 Most Linux distributions used ooo-build rather than OpenOffice.org upstream code directly. Since the end of 2007,〔 various Linux distributions, including SUSE in its various forms, Debian and Ubuntu, had cooperated in maintaining Go-oo as a large set of patches to the upstream OpenOffice.org that, for various technical or bureaucratic reasons, had not been accepted (or, in some cases, even submitted) upstream.〔(Ooo-build - collection of patches, artwork and build infrastructure )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Building ooo-build from source )〕〔(Editions of OpenOffice.org )〕 Others also offered Windows builds based on Go-oo, ''e.g.'' OxygenOffice Professional and OpenOffice.org Novell Edition. Michael Meeks, from Novell, (who also worked on OpenOffice.org and GNOME), said that the differentiation was done because Sun Microsystems wanted to preserve the right to sell the code on a proprietary basis, as they did for IBM Lotus Symphony.〔(Reviewed July 7, 2008, Der Standard interview with Michael Meeks )〕 Sun was accused of not accepting contributions from the community.〔(Sun Refuses LGPL for OpenOffice; Novell forks )〕〔(Can IBM save OpenOffice.org from itself? )〕 Go-oo encouraged outside contributions, with rules similar to those later adopted for LibreOffice. In September 2010, The Document Foundation announced LibreOffice as a fully separate fork of OpenOffice.org. Go-oo was deprecated in favour of LibreOffice and Go-oo changes were incorporated into LibreOffice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Go-oo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
