bharathealthcares.com
bharathealthcares.com (OOo), commonly known as OpenOffice, is a discontinued open-sourceoffice suite. It was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice, which Sun Microsystems acquired in for internal use.
OpenOffice included a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet (Calc), a presentation application (Impress), a drawing application (Draw), a formula editor (Math), and a database management application (Base).[9] Its default file format was the OpenDocument Format (ODF), an ISO/IEC standard, which originated with bharathealthcares.com It could also read a wide variety of other file formats, with particular attention to those from Microsoft Office.
Sun open-sourced the OpenOffice suite in July as a competitor to Microsoft Office,[10][11] releasing version on 1 May [1]
In , Oracle Corporation, the then-owner of Sun, announced that it would no longer offer a commercial version of the suite[12] and donated the project to the Apache Foundation.[13][14]
Apache renamed the software Apache OpenOffice.[15] Other active successor projects include LibreOffice (the most actively developed[16][17][18]) and NeoOffice (commercial, and available only for macOS).
bharathealthcares.com was primarily developed for Linux, Microsoft Windows and Solaris, and later for OS X, with ports to other operating systems. It was distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 (LGPL); early versions were also available under the Sun Industry Standards Source License (SISSL).
History[edit]
bharathealthcares.com originated as StarOffice, a proprietary office suite developed by German company Star Division from on. In August , Star Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems[19][20] for US$ million,[21] as it was supposedly cheaper than licensing Microsoft Office for 42, staff.[22]
On 19 July at OSCON, Sun Microsystems announced it would make the source code of StarOffice available for download with the intention of building an open-source development community around the software and of providing a free and open alternative to Microsoft Office.[10][11][23] The new project was known as bharathealthcares.com,[24] and the code was released as open source on 13 October [25] The first public preview release was Milestone Build c, released in October (which quickly achieved 1 million downloads[19]); the final release of bharathealthcares.com was on 1 May [1]
bharathealthcares.com became the standard office suite on many Linux distros and spawned many derivative versions. It quickly became noteworthy competition to Microsoft Office,[26][27] achieving 14% penetration in the large enterprise market by [28]
The bharathealthcares.com XML file format – XML in a ZIP archive, easily machine-processable – was intended by Sun to become a standard interchange format for office documents,[29] to replace the different binary formats for each application that had been usual until then. Sun submitted the format to the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) in and it was adapted to form the OpenDocument standard in ,[30] which was ratified as ISO in [31] It was made bharathealthcares.com's native format from version 2 on. Many governments and other organisations adopted OpenDocument, particularly given there was a free implementation of it readily available.
Development of bharathealthcares.com was sponsored primarily by Sun Microsystems, which used the code as the basis for subsequent versions of StarOffice. Developers who wished to contribute code were required to sign a Contributor Agreement[32][33] granting joint ownership of any contributions to Sun (and then Oracle), in support of the StarOffice business model.[34] This was controversial for many years.[23][35][36][37][38] An alternative Public Documentation Licence (PDL)[39] was also offered for documentation not intended for inclusion or integration into the project code base.[40]
After acquiring Sun in January , Oracle Corporation continued developing bharathealthcares.com and StarOffice, which it renamed Oracle Open Office,[41] though with a reduction in assigned developers.[42] Oracle's lack of activity on or visible commitment to bharathealthcares.com had also been noted by industry observers.[43] In September , the majority[44][45] of outside bharathealthcares.com developers left the project,[46][47] due to concerns over Sun and then Oracle's management of the project[48][49][50] and Oracle's handling of its open source portfolio in general,[51] to form The Document Foundation (TDF). TDF released the forkLibreOffice in January ,[52] which most Linux distributions soon moved to.[53][54][55][56] In April , Oracle stopped development of bharathealthcares.com[12] and fired the remaining Star Division development team.[34][57] Its reasons for doing so were not disclosed; some speculate that it was due to the loss of mindshare with much of the community moving to LibreOffice[58] while others suggest it was a commercial decision.[34]
In June , Oracle contributed the trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation.[59] It also contributed Oracle-owned code to Apache for relicensing under the Apache License,[60] at the suggestion of IBM (to whom Oracle had contractual obligations concerning the code),[23][61] as IBM did not want the code put under a copyleft license.[62] This code drop formed the basis for the Apache OpenOffice project.[63]
Governance[edit]
During Sun's sponsorship, the bharathealthcares.com project was governed by the Community Council, comprising bharathealthcares.com community members. The Community Council suggested project goals and coordinated with producers of derivatives on long-term development planning issues.[64][65][66]
Both Sun and Oracle are claimed to have made decisions without consulting the Council or in contravention to the council's recommendations,[67][68] leading to the majority of outside developers leaving for LibreOffice.[48] Oracle demanded in October that all Council members involved with the Document Foundation step down,[69] leaving the Community Council composed only of Oracle employees.[70]
Naming[edit]
The project and software were informally referred to as OpenOffice since the Sun release, but since this term is a trademark held by Open Office Automatisering in Benelux since ,[71][72]bharathealthcares.com was its formal name.[73]
Due to a similar trademark issue (a Rio de Janeiro company that owned that trademark in Brazil), the Brazilian Portuguese version of the suite was distributed under the name bharathealthcares.com from , with bharathealthcares.com being the name of the associated local nonprofit from [74] (bharathealthcares.com moved to LibreOffice in December [75])
Features[edit]
bharathealthcares.com was launched under the following mission statement:[11]
The mission of bharathealthcares.com is to create, as a community, the leading international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format.
Components[edit]
The suite contained no personal information manager, email client or calendar application analogous to Microsoft Outlook, despite one having been present in StarOffice Such functionality was frequently requested.[78] The bharathealthcares.com Groupware project, intended to replace Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server, spun off in as bharathealthcares.com,[79] which is now SOGo. The project considered bundling Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Lightning for bharathealthcares.com [78]
Supported operating systems[edit]
The last version, Beta 1, was available for IA versions of Windows Service Pack 2 or later, Linux (IA and x64), Solaris and OS X or later, and the SPARC version of Solaris.[4][80]
The latest versions of bharathealthcares.com on other operating systems were:[81]
Fonts[edit]
bharathealthcares.com included OpenSymbol, DejaVu,[84] the Liberation fonts (from ) and the Gentium fonts (from ).[85][86][87] Versions up to included the Bitstream Vera fonts.[84][88] bharathealthcares.com also used the default fonts of the running operating system.
Fontwork is a feature that allows users to create stylized text with special effects differing from ordinary text with the added features of gradient colour fills, shaping, letter height, and character spacing. It is similar to WordArt used by Microsoft Word. When bharathealthcares.com saved documents in Microsoft Office file format, all Fontwork was converted into WordArt.[89][90]
Extensions[edit]
From version , bharathealthcares.com supported third-party extensions.[91] As of April , the OpenOffice Extension Repository listed more than extensions.[92] Another list was maintained by the Free Software Foundation.[93][94]
OpenOffice Basic[edit]
bharathealthcares.com included OpenOffice Basic, a programming language similar to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). OpenOffice Basic was available in Writer, Calc and Base.[95] bharathealthcares.com also had some Microsoft VBA macro support.
Connectivity[edit]
bharathealthcares.com could interact with databases (local or remote) using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) or SDBC (StarOffice Database Connectivity).[96]
File formats[edit]
From Version onward, bharathealthcares.com used ISO/IEC [97]OpenDocument as its native format. Versions – default to the ODF file format; versions – default to ODF ; versions onward default to ODF
bharathealthcares.com 1 used bharathealthcares.com XML as its native format. This was contributed to OASIS and OpenDocument was developed from it.[98]
bharathealthcares.com also claimed support for the following formats:[99][]

Development[edit]
bharathealthcares.com converted all external formats to and from an internal XML representation.
The bharathealthcares.com API was based on a component technology known as Universal Network Objects (UNO). It consisted of a wide range of interfaces defined in a CORBA-like interface description language.
Native desktop integration[edit]
bharathealthcares.com was criticized for not having the look and feel of applications developed natively for the platforms on which it runs. Starting with version , bharathealthcares.com used native widget toolkit, icons, and font-rendering libraries on GNOME, KDE and Windows.[][][]
The issue had been particularly pronounced on Mac OS X. Early versions of bharathealthcares.com required the installation of Xapp or XDarwin (though the NeoOffice port supplied a native interface). Versions since ran natively using Apple's Aqua GUI.[]
Use of Java[edit]
Although originally written in C++, bharathealthcares.com became increasingly reliant on the Java Runtime Environment, even including a bundled JVM.[] bharathealthcares.com was criticized by the Free Software Foundation for its increasing dependency on Java, which was not free software.[]
The issue came to the fore in May , when Richard Stallman appeared to call for a fork of the application in a posting on the Free Software Foundation website.[] bharathealthcares.com adopted a development guideline that future versions of bharathealthcares.com would run on free implementations of Java and fixed the issues which previously prevented bharathealthcares.com from using free-software Java implementations.[]
On 13 November , Sun committed to releasing Java under the GNU General Public License[] and had released a free software Java, OpenJDK, by May
Security[edit]
In , Lt. Col. Eric Filiol of the Laboratoire de Virologie et de Cryptologie de l'ESAT demonstrated security weaknesses, in particular within macros.[][][] In , Kaspersky Lab demonstrated a proof of concept virus, "Stardust", for bharathealthcares.com[] This showed bharathealthcares.com viruses are possible, but there is no known virus "in the wild".
As of October , Secunia reported no known unpatched security flaws for the software.[] A vulnerability in the inherited bharathealthcares.com codebase was found and fixed in LibreOffice in October [] and Apache OpenOffice in May []

bharathealthcares.com 1[edit]
The preview, Milestone c, was released October [19] bharathealthcares.com was released under both the LGPL and the SISSL[23] for Windows, Linux and Solaris[] on 1 May [1][] The version for Mac OS X (with X11 interface) was released on 23 June [][]
bharathealthcares.com introduced One-click Export to PDF and Export presentations to Flash (.SWF). It also allowed third-party addons.[]
bharathealthcares.com was used in by The Guardian to illustrate what it saw as the limitations of open-source software.[]
bharathealthcares.com 2[edit]
Work on version began in early with the following goals (the "Q Product Concept"): better interoperability with Microsoft Office; improved speed and lower memory usage; greater scripting capabilities; better integration, particularly with GNOME; a more usable database; digital signatures; and improved usability.[] It would also be the first version to default to OpenDocument. Sun released the first beta version on 4 March []
On 2 September , Sun announced that it was retiring SISSL to reduce license proliferation,[] though some press analysts felt it was so that IBM could not reuse bharathealthcares.com code without contributing back.[23] Versions after beta 2 would use only the LGPL.[7]
On 20 October , bharathealthcares.com was released.[] was released eight weeks later, fixing minor bugs and introducing new features. As of the release, bharathealthcares.com changed its release cycle from 18 months to releasing updates every three months.[]
The bharathealthcares.com 2 series attracted considerable press attention.[][][][][][][][] A PC Pro review awarded it 6 stars out of 6 and stated: "Our pick of the low-cost office suites has had a much-needed overhaul, and now battles Microsoft in terms of features, not just price."[]Federal Computer Week listed bharathealthcares.com as one of the "5 stars of open-source products",[] noting in particular the importance of OpenDocument. ComputerWorld reported that for large government departments, migration to bharathealthcares.com cost one tenth of the price of upgrading to Microsoft Office []
bharathealthcares.com 3[edit]
On 13 October , version was released, featuring the ability to import (though not export) Office Open XML documents, support for ODF , improved VBAmacros, and a native interface port for OS X. It also introduced the new Start Center[] and upgraded to LGPL version 3 as its license.[]
Version included support for PostScript-based OpenType fonts. It warned users when ODF Extended features had been used. An improvement to the document integrity check determined if an ODF document conformed to the ODF specification and offered a repair if necessary. Calc and Writer both reduced "cold start" time by 46% compared to version [] was the first Oracle release.[]
Version , the last Oracle version, was released in January [] New features include an updated print form, a FindBar and interface improvements for Impress.[][] The commercial version, Oracle Open Office (StarOffice renamed), based on the beta, was released on 15 December , as was the single release of Oracle Cloud Office (a proprietary product from an unrelated codebase).[41][]
bharathealthcares.com Beta 1[edit]
A beta version of bharathealthcares.com was released on 12 April , including new SVG import, improved ODF support, and spreadsheet functionality.[4][2][]
Before the final version of bharathealthcares.com could be released, Oracle cancelled its sponsorship of development[12] and fired the remaining Star Division development team.[34][57]
Market share[edit]
Problems arise in estimating the market share of bharathealthcares.com because it could be freely distributed via download sites (including mirror sites), peer-to-peer networks, CDs, Linux distributions and so forth. The project tried to capture key adoption data in a market-share analysis,[] listing known distribution totals, known deployments and conversions and analyst statements and surveys.
According to Valve, as of July , % of Steam users had bharathealthcares.com installed on their machines.[]
A market-share analysis conducted by a web analytics service in , based on over , Internet users, showed a wide range of adoption in different countries:[] % in China, 9% in the US and the UK and over 20% in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
Although Microsoft Office retained 95% of the general market — as measured by revenue — as of August ,[] bharathealthcares.com and StarOffice had secured 15–20% of the business market as of [][] and a University of Colorado at Boulder study reported that bharathealthcares.com had reached a point where it had an "irreversible" installed user base and that it would continue to grow.[]
The project claimed more than 98 million downloads as of September [] and million total to the release of version in February [] The project claimed over one hundred million downloads for the bharathealthcares.com 3 series within a year of release.[]
Notable users[edit]
Large-scale users of bharathealthcares.com included Singapore's Ministry of Defence,[] and Banco do Brasil.[] As of [update] bharathealthcares.com was the official office suite for the French Gendarmerie.[]
In India, several government organizations such as ESIC, IIT Bombay, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, the Supreme Court of India, ICICI Bank,[] and the Allahabad High Court,[] which use Linux, completely relied on bharathealthcares.com for their administration.
In Japan, conversions from Microsoft Office to bharathealthcares.com included many municipal offices: Sumoto, Hyōgo in ,[]Ninomiya, Tochigi in ,[][]Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima in [] (and to LibreOffice as of []), Shikokuchūō, Ehime in ,[]Minoh, Osaka in []Toyokawa, Aichi,[]Fukagawa, Hokkaido[] and Katano, Osaka[] in and Ryūgasaki, Ibaraki in [] Corporate conversions included Assist in [] (and to LibreOffice on Ubuntu in []), Sumitomo Electric Industries in [] (and to LibreOffice in []), Toho Co., Ltd. in [][] and Shinsei Financial Co., Ltd. in [] Assist also provided support services for bharathealthcares.com[][]
