Forkers and disruptors in the #openoffice.org channel? Well, it's hard to tell for sure, but one reader has notified us about someone in this channel who is promoting #go-oo. "There's a guy in #openoffice.org sending people to #go-oo," he writes. Moreover, we were told that the person is not trolling, he's talking to people in private and we append proof of this.
