-====== LibreOffice or OpenOffice ======
+====== Open Source Software ======
-A place to start learning about [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|LibreOffice]] or OpenOffice.
+This page might evolve into an anchor page for Open Source software. Here is an item that caught my eye as relates to Open Source tools in the graphics and 3D modeling arena. [[https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/11/09/064248/are-forced-subscriptions-driving-3d-users-to-open-source-tools|https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/11/09/064248/are-forced-subscriptions-driving-3d-users-to-open-source-tools]]
+Here is one sentence from the item above, that can lead you into a lot of reading: //Some of the most popular FOSS 3D tools are the complete 3D suite [[https://www.blender.org/|Blender]], polygon modeling tool [[http://www.wings3d.com/|Wings 3D]], polygon modeling tool [[https://dust3d.org/|Dust3D]], CAD modeling tool [[https://www.freecadweb.org/|FreeCAD]], PBR texturing tool [[https://armorpaint.org/|ArmorPaint]], procedural materials generator [[https://rodzilla.itch.io/material-maker|Material Maker]], image editing tool [[https://www.gimp.org/|GIMP]], painting tool [[https://krita.org/en/|Krita]], vector illustration tool [[https://inkscape.org/|Inkscape]] and the 2D/3D game engine [[https://godotengine.org/|Godot Engine]]. //
+The website slashdot.org is one of the places that frequently leads to "interesting" stuff.

+The [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|The Document Foundation, LibreOffice]] and [[https://www.openoffice.org/|Apache OpenOffice]] are evolutions of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org|same software]]. [[https://www.openoffice.org/|OpenOffice]] history is identified [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org|here]]. [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|LIbreOffice]] history is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#History|here]]. Both products are free to use in either binary or source format. [[https://www.openoffice.org/|OpenOffice]] and [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|LibreOffice ]]use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument|ODF]] as the default format for documents. But, both programs allow selection of the default document format. This includes the format for Microsoft Word documents.
+Then I found/saw a youtube video that identified [[https://www.onlyoffice.com/home-use.aspx|OnlyOffice]] .  This product identifies itself as open source.    This product can be cloud based or installed on your computer.    Looks interesting...

 ===== Educating yourself. =====
-There are educational materials for LibreOffice, [[https://www.openoffice.org/|OpenOffice]] and Microsoft Office on the internet. Documents and videos are easy to find. The product web sites have links to educational materials. The documents from the product web sites are usually up to date. Videos that you find on youtube can be about older versions. This implies they may not address all the latest enhancements to a product, but given the maturity of the products, the videos are likely to be "good enough" to get you started.
