Dear QA project team,

those of you interested into good quality of OpenOffice.org 3.3 should at least start now to check the current OOO330m9 developer milestone http://download.openoffice.org/next/ to find show stopper issues. In a few weeks we will start OpenOffice.org's release candidate phase. Please have a look at the new implemented features listed here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Testing_3.3

If you find stopper issues then please submit them within OpenOffice.org's IssueTracker application http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html and notify the releases mailing list [email protected] to get attention.

Kind regards, Joost

For as long as I have been here folks have been saying they want a foundation to control the project - every single person I have spoken with, including Sun employees agreed with that.

Well here it is, may not be how you envisioned perhaps.

Currently the new foundation has asked Oracle to join, barring that to allow the use of the branding items and barring that and only then, it will be a total fork.

So, if that really was what you wanted:

If you work at Oracle, tell your employer that you want them to join the new DocumentFoundation.

If you do not work for Oracle then the only leverage you have is your labor.

Now is no time to sit on the fence.

Use the only leverage you have, your labor, if you want Oracle to join the new foundation.

Howdy,

Well, it seems that sometimes I am much to verbose and sometimes, as here, much to brief.

Let me be clear.

My post was not directed at any individual, particularly not to the person that wrote the first email.

I am not calling anyone a liar, but I am saying that even if this is not the foundation you had in mind it is a real chance for one.

As for the labor part I can tell you this, some folks at the DocumentFoundation do not share my view at all.

So if you upset be upset at me, because what I said was truly only from me and I spoke for no one else.

Thanks

Drew
