I think coolo meant LXDE as a fresh project (inside of openSUSE that is) with a different userbase from the majority of openSUSE users, so Office is what most users expect installing "Office", it's the one with most feature parity to MS Office. And as a fresh project LXDE can see fit what they think people expect most from their "spin", and I agree OpenOffice.org really is fat beast, this wouldn't be proper for a lightweight desktop, but changing the "officepointer" for everybody would go a bit too far. Why not make an lxde_office pattern? Karsten Am Montag, 29. März 2010 19:34:19 schrieb James Mason:
Well, I suppose this is an argument about whether we are (a) integrating LXDE into openSUSE, or (b) integrating openSUSE into LXDE. I'd have to argue the first. And since openSUSE uses OpenOffice.org as the default office suite regardless of DE (we install by default OO.o on KDE despite KOffice), I don't see why that would be different for LXDE.

Hi people,
as you know, i'm working on LXDE into 11.3
i noticed a strange thing with Office pattern.
if you install office pattern, it will install OO.o this is imho wrong... in particular for xfce and lxde, that may want to use a lighter solution (check lxde-office pattern). i think, that Office pattern sould install "nothing" and call as "dependencie" $DE_office pattern something like "imaging" pattern..
what do you think about it?
I think "office" is defined as OpenOffice for typical users. You can of course still change it to be not that - lxde is not installed by typical users, so I don't see a clash there.
