AOO 4.0 Release Feedback
Hi, I wanted to say some words to our release because of some private stuff I wasn't able to participate "live" in the end phase. But I tried at least to catch up some press coverages ;-) First of all I think we did all together a good job and we can be proud of what we have achieved. And that is the key message we should be proud and should enjoy the moment a little bit. A new 1 day download record, yeah! And that on the first full 24 hour day after the release. That is impressive and I like it! I am really proud to be part of this community and I hope we will release many more version and will provide together the best free office productivity suite. Congratulation to our complete community. It's only possible together and by working hand in hand. It was a pleasure to see the translation process, the growing sidebar feature over several weeks, the logo work, the other improvements in areas that will often not be noticed by our users. I means the infra work, the wiki maintenance, the forum etc. We have some further good stuff in the pipeline, iAccessibilty2, the improved translation process, the 64bit port of MacOS ... We have patches from the OSBA for better OOXML support that is from my point f view important and we should work on the integration. Any I am sure many other things will come up over time ... Well we can always make things better and I am sure we will improve over time but that is normal and make the whole thing so interesting. I noticed an increasing interest of new volunteers in different areas. And I believe we can do better to support newcomers and help where necessary and guide them ... I know this is time consuming but it's necessary to grow our community. And here we should try to grow especially the developer community and we should think together what we can change or improve to make this possible. Anyway I am proud to be part of this project and I am looking forward to more positive feedback for AOO 4.0 that will motivate us for the next version ... Thank you to all of you and wish all a nice weekend Juergen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
