Hi :) Please feel free to update the wiki-page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_In_The_Press
I added the Kim one yday but a couple of weeks ago i missed a few excellent articles. I think i got the one about hospitals in Copenhagen all moving to LibreOffice, here's the translation http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=da&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=da&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computerworld.dk%2Fart%2F118467%2F See the link in the "ComputerWorld" section for the original article. There are pages for other languages, just click on the lang-code at the top. When the Kim Show first put out an article about LO i wrote to them to ask if we could use the tag-line on our page and asked permission to link to their article (usually gets good results. Legally, of course, linking to websites that are in public view is fine whoever you are but asking permission is polite and usually gets good results, ie 2 more articles in this case :) ). I didn't have time to write to all the magazines or publishers that have articles on that page but there are a few i am waiting for a response from. It might be good to write to them again fairly soon. If you find the page difficult to edit and don't know exactly where to place things please just do what you can and i can tidy-up afterwards (although if it looks nicer i might leave as is).

I went online and OOo is still showing 3.3.0, just like it had when LO's 3.3.0 beat them to that version number. I did not see any info for any release above that. If there would be any updates, it would say .01 or .1 after 3.3, but that was not there. As for Ubuntu 11.xx, it seems to install the highest resolution of the graphics card instead of the largest resolution that the monitor does. I found out that when I tried to install 11.04. I may see if my CRT monitor will work with that resolution and then install 11.10 and reduce the resolution to what my LCD can do..
