@neil @libreoffice I am amazed they have only 18 employees!!! They are *tiny* by comparison with Mozilla or Wikimedia...
Private funding vs. corporate capture is a tough one to resolve.. perhaps keeping corporate interests at arms length through support agreements with 3rd parties is best?
@neil @libreoffice Very disappointing that more commercial orgs don't fund it. Although I guess it means it's hard to accuse it of capture.
