Some good news in this morning’s in-box. The Press Release we put out in May for the launch of OpenOffice.org 3.1 has been shortlisted for the Best Online News Releases 2009 Award. We now go into the next phase of judging where a panel of six industry experts selects their top three.

Our press releases – like everything else we do – are a community effort, developed on a mailing list. Unusually, the list is by invitation only, as our customers in the media are not very receptive to half-developed press releases being released in advance by their competitors. The award winning press release also benefited from assistance from Crossroads Public Relations in the US – a country where we find it difficult to get our message across.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for success in the next phase of judging!
