    I don’t want to be a sponsor and I don’t even want be a participant until you – Libre Office society and managers – don’t understand that copying features from Microsoft Excel is not the way to be recognized as a competitive spreadsheet agains MS Excel. You have to make your own analytical app.
    I’ve been an “Excel guru” – since 1993!!! I produce apps for Excel and webservices for Excel. I know perfectly (30 years!) how a spreadsheet (office apps) is beeing used.

    If you want to listen to me – I’m ready.
    Don’t send me any other invitations and info.

      LibreOffice is an open source project, and everyone can contribute. We would be happy to know your suggestions about Excel, as you seem to know the application very well, but no one is going to call you to ask. This is open source, which may be difficult to understand if your background is in proprietary software (I had the same issues 20 years ago, but instead of asking to be listened I started to contribute based on my professional skills, and because of these skills in 2010 I was involved in the group of people who created the LibreOffice project). LibreOffice development is driven by end users or by contributor’s will to add what they consider useful for the users. Many of the features which are inspired by Excel are actually requested – and paid for – by enterprise users who have migrated from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and need that specific feature for their workflow.
