Hi all,

Please make note that there is a serious change with regard to
OpenOffice.org happening that takes control away from it being run by
just one company (Oracle in this case).

Tentatively the application suite will be called LibreOffice and
details can be found at http://www.documentfoundation.org/ which is
the organization that is to oversee development of the application in
future.

Downloads seem to be available, but I have not tried them out yet.
There should not be any issues with the application with regard to the
same functionality in the current version of OpenOffice.org. It is
mainly a rebranding of the application to avoid legal issues and to
keep everything free and open source.

Cheers to those keeping it free!

Raymond
