FYI, the 2.01 PR ops have started. I've forwarded it to this list as I'm not sure if every MarCon/Project lead is subscribed to the MarCon list. Best, Charles.

It is up to you to determine whether the PR should be distributed more widely or distributed as a media release. This will vary depending on languages available and your region. For example, it is a very important announcement for the Macedonian community. If you publish your announcement on the web, please let me know (on marcon@) and I will be happy to link to it from the Press Room page. Regards Jacqueline ---///--- MEDIA ALERT 21 December 2005 New release of the free office suite OpenOffice.org offers additional features The OpenOffice.org Project today released version 2.0.1 of its office suite. Eight weeks after the major release 2.0 was published, a first update is available that brings along new features and remedies minor bugs. The main focus of the new release was correcting bugs, in particular in localisations. However, a number of new features were added as well. So, for example, it is now possible to disable and hide particular application settings, which comes in handy for central administration in networks. Moreover, a new keyboard shortcut permits the user to return to a saved cursor position. The bullets and numbering feature has been expanded, and a new mail merge feature is available. Last but not least, Macedonian has been added as an official language. Several other localized versions are also available, such as Turkish, Russian, Slovenian, Hungarian, Estonian and Bulgarian.
