Apache OpenOffice

Apache OpenOffice is a free and open-source office suite that was initially derived from StarOffice, which was developed by Sun Microsystems in Germany. Upon acquisition by Oracle, the suite eventually became part of the Apache Software Foundation’s portfolio of projects in 2011. Today, it operates under various community contributions and is hosted by the Foundation, reflecting a collaborative effort from developers all over the world. The software is used for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, and databases, supporting multiple operating systems. With its versatile features and support, Apache OpenOffice has remained a prominent alternative to proprietary office solutions.
