"For the last couple of years the community has been working to ensure that developers can create applications using Java without having to depend on proprietary software. Today, the Free implementations are already very capable and support a vast amount of functionality that developers expect from a Java-like environment. Important large applications like JOnAS, OpenOffice.org 2, Eclipse 3 and Tomcat 5 are known to work and now included in distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora Core. This document provides a road map of the various projects; how they work together, where they are, where they're going, and how we make sure that they work well and are compatible."

You do realiase that Linux is likely not the primary platform for OpenOffice right ? It is much more likely that it is Solaris given that StarOffice which is based on OpenOffice comes as part of Solaris, and that a large percentage of the OpenOffice developers are still Sun employees and are using Solaris as the development platform.
Note I don't have any figures for this, but neither did you :-)
