I talked with several people at Apple. They do no OpenSource sponsoring 
(and I'm not aware of any Apple sponsored project [Apple projects like 
Darwin do not count]).

They don't. The only thing they offered is to lend a machine for a 
month ...

Neither.

If we would provide a ready to run solution for MacOSX, I think there 
are good chances that Apple might include it in MacOSX server or at 
least push news about OGo.
But getting the OSX port into the same state like the Linux port is 
quite a while to go.

Yes, but they spend no money for that.


IMHO it would be more interesting to talk with a Linux oriented company 
like RedHat (or CA? / Sun?) which is in the server business and has no 
groupware server. If someone has connections, I don't ;-)
