We’ve heard a lot over the years about Google hiring developers and employees from other companies. The Mozilla Foundation, Opera Software, GAIM, Microsoft, and AltaVista are just a few of these companies.
Now it looks like we might see something a bit different. According to C|Net News, Google is looking to hire a few developers for OpenOffice.org. That’s right, Google will be hiring people to work specifically on improving OpenOffice.org.
Personally, I’m glad to see a major company throwing some money at OOo. I’ve been using it at home for 2+ years, and find it amazing. That said, there is still room for improvement. Maybe with the help of Google we’ll see some nice things done with OOo. Now, if a few more companies would just jump on board.
