I know many people who hesitate about replacing Office simply because of the lack of an alternative for one note. Similarly I've noticed a few times when this issue has been raised on distro websites many people point to alternatives that are really not comparable (such as tomboy).
The one project I saw working towards this goal was Basket but sadly this project seems to have fallen into a development black hole. With that in mind (and with the existing possibilities of libreOffice) I could see it being the natural home for this type of program.
There are currently no plans to extend the scope of LibreOffice to cover OneNotes features. As the integration of such an application gains little from a close integration with the existing applications, there is no reason for such an application not to be developed standalone as has been done -- not only by Tomboy:

That said, this does not preclude a sponsor from contributing to implement such functionality being welcomed, but current volunteer and corporate sponsors show little interest given the available alternatives.
Hi, do not completely agree with bjoern-michaelsen: as the tablet era starts, a functionality like Microsoft's Onenote is in my opinion mandatory on such devices. Additionally LibreOffice should provide native touch and pen input support!
Cheers.

You can check also these links for OneNote alternatives:
I started out with tuxcards and then migrated to basket. I've found basket to be a bit much for me. I've been using nixnote but found this app recently. It looks really interesting

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >750 is welcome to improve it.
"there is no reason for such an application not to be developed standalone" I agree that a standalone OneNote equivalent is not needed in Libre, but it would be great to have at least some of the tab functionality for organising files built into the Writer. OneNote has a major failing, it does not support footnotes. A word processing product combining footnotes and simple visual tabs to help organise notes would win over many students, academics, writers and scientists over.
LibreOffice is made available by volunteers around the globe, backed by a charitable Foundation. Please support our efforts: Your donation helps us to deliver a better product!
