The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations and individuals who want to adopt OpenOffice.org.
For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on "vanilla" OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the StarOffice software or Novell's edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solution free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.
DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution's website for the latest information.
