The Document Foundation
(TDF) was created in 2010 to steward and
support the development of the
LibreOffice suite, which was then a new fork of OpenOffice.org. TDF has
clearly been successful; unlike OpenOffice,
which is currently under the Apache umbrella, LibreOffice is an actively
developed and widely
used project. But TDF has also been showing signs of stress in recent
years, and the situation does not appear to be getting better. There are
currently some significant disagreements over just what role TDF should
play; if those cannot be resolved, there is a real chance that they could
rip the Foundation apart.
