{{main|Go-oo}}

The ooo-build [[Patch (computing)|patch]] set was started at [[Ximian]] in 2002, because Sun was slow to accept outside work on OpenOffice.org, even from corporate partners, and to make the build process easier on Linux. It tracked the main line of development and was not intended to constitute a fork.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ooo.ximian.com/ooo-build.html |title=About ooo-build |publisher=[[Ximian]] |date=18 October 2003 |access-date=5 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060410080023/http://ooo.ximian.com/ooo-build.html |archive-date=10 April 2006 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Most Linux distributions used,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tuxdeluxe.org/node/184|title=Meek not geek - Interview with Michael Meeks of OpenOffice.org|work=Tux Deluxe|first=Daniel|last=James|date=7 May 2007|access-date=1 October 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929232956/http://www.tuxdeluxe.org/node/184|archive-date=29 September 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref> and worked together on,<ref>{{cite conference |last=Meeks |first=Michael |editor-last=Lockhart |editor-first=John W. |date=21–24 July 2004 |title=The World of OpenOffice |conference=Linux Symposium 2004 |conference-url=http://www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2004/ |book-title=Proceedings of the Linux Symposium |location=Ottawa, Ontario |volume=2 |pages=361–366 |url=http://www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2004/Reprint-Meeks-OLS2004.pdf |access-date=1 October 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502012130/http://www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2004/Reprint-Meeks-OLS2004.pdf |archive-date=2 May 2014}}</ref> ooo-build.
