Unfortunately the Bouncer service that we use to redirect downloads to local mirrors hasn&#8217;t picked up the new version, so people can&#8217;t actually download 2.4.2 from <a href="http://download.openoffice.org">our download page</a>.</p> +<p>So, please bear with us. As soon as the good people who run the Bouncer for us (and for several other open-source projects like Mozilla) have got it fixed, we&#8217;ll make the public announcement that 2.4.2 is available.</p></description> + <pubDate>Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:29:50 +0000</pubDate> +</item> +<item> <title>Benjamin Horst: All Russian Schools to Use Free Software</title> <guid>http://www.solidoffice.com/?p=899</guid> <link>http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/899</link> @@ -358,15 +369,6 @@ <p>And <a href="http://www.lulu.com/browse/search.php?fTagsSelected=&fSort=&fSearchDataFamily=&fSearchDataQuery=openoffice.org&additionalFilter=0&fCatId_1=&fCatId_2=&fCatId_3=&fCatId_6=&fCatId_4=&fCatId_5=&fCatId_7=&fSearchData[title]=&fSearchData[author]=&reviewsFilter=fAny&fSearchData[lang_code]=EN&fSearchData[country_id]=&publishDate=fDateAny&fSubmitSearch.x=0&fSubmitSearch.y=0">many more</a>.</p></description> <pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:42:34 +0000</pubDate> </item> -<item> - <title>John McCreesh: Two million today</title> - <guid>http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=584</guid> - <link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/10/17/two-million-today/</link> - <description><p>By the time you read this, there will have been over two million downloads of <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">OpenOffice.org</a> via the &#8216;bouncer&#8217; since we announced OpenOffice.org 3.0.
