What is wrong with Ubuntu?
It says the latest and greatest in open-source software, but where is
the latest? And the greatest, in fact, in some places?
All it does is take the best applications, say, Firefox, mess with its

I would love to see OpenOffice.org 3 in Intrepid.
I belive, that when you don't include it, everybody will get it through
PPA and download it anyway. Escpecially the users which really using it
daily! Yes, I know, its okey to use PPA's! I love them too! BUT when a
huge amount of users use a PPA,
I have to concur the majority here.
Intrepid doesn't really have that much *new* going for it right now; at
least not visibly at any rate. And Mandiva 2009 has already shipped with
OOo 3.0.

Hi Exsecrabilus, thanks for your input but I think you are missing two
or three key points.

with Gnome (2.23), so comparing the two is not valid. If there are any
serious bugs we may not have time to catch them and this could

It's almost certainly too late at this point since OOo 3.0 was supposed
to have originally been released on Sep 2, not just the release
candidate. At their current rate of progress the final version will
probably be released at the same time as Ubuntu Intrepid release
candidate (~ Oct 20).
Just wondering : could it be possible to integrate a RC (2?) version and
upgrade it later to final one ? Like Canonical had done for Firefox. I
know, it is a little bigger than Firefox, but having to wait for Ibex +
1 for OpenOffice.org 3.0 could be a little longer ;)
