IBM just released Lotus Symphony.
It's free.
Although IBM does seem to make it difficult to determine whether it is
free as in gratis, free as in libre, or both.
It's IBM. It's Eclipse-based. It does document, spreadsheets
and presentations.
It's not Open Office, but it's an interesting alternative.
Everything I've read implies that it _is_ OpenOffice, but with an pretty
RCP face. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'm not sure exactly
how different it is in terms of functionality from OpenOffice.
In either case, I think the important thing is that you can create ODF
documents on your System i as needed, and then use some ODF-compliant
office package to present them to your users. I suspect there are even
software packages out there to facilitate the ODF creation part.
