OpenOffice.org runs on OLPC!

J David Eisenberg wrote an email to the OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF) Adoption TC, confirming that OpenOffice.org can be used on the OLPC.

So you can use all kind of documents on your OLPC, since OpenOffice.org has filters for many  different formats!

Needles to say that of course this includes ODF files, even in a stripped down (USB stick optimized) OOo installation, since ODF is OOo's default file format.

BTW: Most likely you don't need the JRE - OpenOffice.org uses Java only for some of the seldom used Wizards. So if the JRE doesn't fit on your USB stick, just go without it.
