Team OpenOffice.org Presents Release Candidate

HAMBURG, Germany, December 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

On December 21, 2011 Team OpenOffice.org is publishing a release candidate based on OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 with important security fixes and problem corrections.

The release candidate is named "White Label Office 3.3.1" because the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) holds the trademark rights of the brand "OpenOffice.org". Team OpenOffice.org and the ASF could not reach an agreement for a shared usage. By publishing White Label Office 3.3.1, Team OpenOffice.org is taking the first step towards a maintenance release for OpenOffice.org 3.3.0. The release candidate is intended to serve as a starting point for creating the best possible version in collaboration with the users.

With the maintenance release planned in early 2012 Team OpenOffice.org wants to point out, there is no time to lose. Since the main sponsor Oracle has opted out, it is urgently necessary to continue binding essential and professional developer skills to the project. With help of donations, Team OpenOffice.org wants to secure these skills and increase them in the long run.

"It's all about sending a positive signal. We want to show our many users, whether they are private users or companies, that progress is being made. We appreciate any kind of support," says Stefan Taxhet from Team OpenOffice.org.
