It’s been so long…

February 14th, 2010

At last … we now have a temperamental but intermittently usable broadband connection at home … and so much has happened in the past month. The first ever face to face (f2f) meeting of the OpenOffice.org Community Council outwith a Conference … and OpenOffice.org 3.2 is announced to the community and to the world (after more release candidates than I care to count :-( )

The minutes of the f2f meeting can be found on the Community Council pages in the wiki. I’d recommend them to anyone interested in OpenOffice.org activities, as the discussions covered a wide range of topics: from the recent Oracle announcements, to important changes to the OpenOffice.org infrastructure, to a new logo for OpenOffice.org.

And the new version? download it of course for all these reasons. I’d like to congratulate Florian for the way he handled all the Marketing tasks around the release. I was delighted when he agreed to take over the Marketing Project lead from me at the start of the year, and he’s doing a great job.
