Jay Epstein (jeppy64), Senior Developer with TrakTek joins Mike, Ted, and Ryan to talk about his Relativity Data Model and why he feels it is a superior method for architectuing Drupal sites with a limited number of modules and no custom code.

OpenOffice vs. LibreOffice
Hi, just wanted to mention that - in 2011, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice code and trademarks to The Apache Foundation. Both OpenOffice and LibreOffice are open source, and nearly identical in features and codebase.

Relativity Data Model and Multilingual Websites
I would be interested to hear if Jay (or anyone else) has used the Relativity Data Model for a multilingual website and the Pros and Cons of doing so.
re: Multilingual and Relativity
Greetings,
To be honest I haven't used Relativity with Drupal multilingual, however, in general, I think it would work just fine. Regardless of site language, Relativity is wired with simple entity references throughout using a one-to-one or one-to-many strategy from the parent node. As for Pros or Cons... I believe that Relativity offers a number of UI and Views improvements and should be great way to go.
I'd love to hear how your experience turns out.
Best regards,
J

reason of existence of both
reason of existence of both OpenOffice and LibreOffice really lies in the history and influenced by some major companies including oracle and so.
