LibreOffice is just C++ and Java and it appears much of the Java code will be replaced with native code over time. Many mainstream distributions with the exception of Fedora were actually using Go-oo under the Openoffice.org name so it's not a big change for them either. > So, here I am, a happy Fedora user, but whoÂd like to continue using > OpenOffice.org.

The Red Hat maintainer is part of the technical steering committee for LibreOffice as well.
