+<h1>The Apache OpenOffice Project Announces Apache OpenOffice™ 3.4</h1>
+<p>
+<strong>Numerous enhancements to leading Open Source multi-platform, multi-lingual office productivity suite with over
+100M users worldwide; <a
+ href="http://download.openoffice.org">downloads now available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh free of charge</a>.</strong>
+</p>
+<p>
+<strong>www.OpenOffice.org —8 May 2012—</strong> The Apache OpenOffice Project today announced the
+availability of Apache OpenOffice™ 3.4, the first release of OpenOffice under the governance of the Apache Software
+Foundation.
+</p>
+<p>
+Apache OpenOffice is the original open source office productivity suite, designed for professional and consumer use.
+</p>
+<p>
+"With the donation of OpenOffice.org to the ASF, the Foundation, and especially the podling project, was given a daunting
+task: re-energize a community and transform OpenOffice from a codebase of unknown Intellectual Property heritage, to a
+vetted and Apache Licensed software suite," said Jim Jagielski, ASF President and an Apache OpenOffice project mentor. "The
+release of Apache OpenOffice 3.4 shows just how successful the project has been: pulling in developers from over 21
+corporate affiliations, while avoiding undue influence which is the death-knell of true open source communities;
+building a solid and stable codebase, with significant improvement and enhancements over other variants; and, of course,
+creating a healthy, vibrant and diverse user and developer community."
+</p>
+<p>
+Apache OpenOffice is the leading open source office productivity suite, with more than 100 million users worldwide in
+home, corporate, government, research, and academic environments, across 15 languages. Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is <a
+href="http://download.openoffice.org">available for download</a> free of charge. OpenOffice 3.4 features:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ word processing, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, databases, drawing, and mathematical editing applications support
+ for Windows, Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Macintosh operating environments
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ native language support for English, Arabic, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Galician, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
+ Dutch, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ improved ODF support, including new ODF 1.2 encryption options and new spreadsheet functions
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ enhanced pivot table support in Calc
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ enhanced graphics, including line caps, <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/features_for_graphicobjects_and_oleobjects">shear transformations</a>
+ and <a href="https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/native_svg_support_for_apache">native support</a> for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ improvements in performance and quality
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+The complete list of new features, functions, and improvements is available in the <a
+href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Release+Notes">Release Notes</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Apache OpenOffice users also benefit from a broad ecosystem of 3rd party products, including over <a
+href="http://templates.openoffice.org/">2300 templates</a> and over <a
+href="http://extensions.openoffice.org/">800 extensions</a>.
+</p>
+<h2>Community-Driven Development, The Apache Way</h2>
+<p>
+The OpenOffice code base was created by Star Division in the 1990's, acquired by Sun Microsystems in
+1999 and later Oracle Corporation in 2010, before being submitted to The Apache Software Foundation mid-2011.
+</p>
+<p>
+Today the project is being developed by an all-volunteer group of developers, testers, translators, and other
+contributors under the ASF's meritocratic process informally dubbed "The Apache Way", and is supported by hundreds of
+Open Source software volunteers from around the world.
+</p>
+<p>
+"Initially released a decade ago, the first release of OpenOffice 3.4 as an Apache project marks an important new chapter in the life of
+ a landmark project," said Stephen O'Grady, Principal Analyst with RedMonk. "Following months of effort, the open source productivity
+ suite is now licensed and built with the intent of courting a large population of users, developers and ISVs worldwide."
+</p>
+<p>
+As a project in the Apache Incubator, Apache OpenOffice is overseen by a Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC)
+that guides its day-to-day operations, community development, and product releases. Apache OpenOffice source code,
+downloads, documentation, mailing lists, and related resources are available at <a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/">http://openoffice.apache.org/</a>
+</p>
+<p>
+For the first official Apache release of OpenOffice, the developer team successfully conformed to the policy defined by
+the Incubator Project Management Committee by identifying, removing and replacing with comparable function those
+libraries with licenses incompatible with Apache Software Foundation license policy.
+</p>
+<h2>Future Developments</h2>
+<p>
+Plans for future enhancements by the Project include support for additional native languages, enhanced accessibility,
+usability and performance improvements, and adopting new features and improvements from the upcoming IBM Lotus Symphony
+contribution.
+</p>
+<p>
+The Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee invites people to join. There are many different area where contribution is most
+welcome. Check out the <a
+href="http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html">Get Involved</a> page.
+</p>
+<p>
+"Apache OpenOffice is the leading Open Source office productivity suite with more than 15 years of engineering
+investment. We are pleased and excited to offer OpenOffice fully licensed under the Apache License 2. This offering will
+form the foundation of OpenOffice innovation moving forward here at Apache," said Juergen Schmidt, Apache OpenOffice
+Release Manager and veteran core developer. "With the achievement of this major milestone, we have established a diverse
+and vibrant community with sufficient depth and skills to ably steward this important product into the future. We look
+forward to graduating as an Apache Top Level Project soon."

+"Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is a worthy progression of OpenOffice.org. Many improvements have been completed, which
+originally began for OpenOffice.org, but we have also added a lot of new features, all with usual high quality our users
+have come to expect. Use Apache OpenOffice 3.4 for your personal, business, or education requirements, and reward the
+work of the many volunteers who have made this possible. The Germanophone contributors will continue to support you and
+listen to your questions, requests and suggestions. Together we will continue to shape the future of OpenOffice at
+Apache." <br/>
+— Regina Henschel, member of the Project Management Committee and the OpenOffice Germanophone community.
+</p>
+<p>
+"OpenOffice and its large, diverse community now have a new home at Apache. More than 40 volunteers from the Italian
+community helped with translations and quality assurance, to make sure that Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is on par with what
+users have come to expect from the OpenOffice brand. The new license allows for contributions to OpenOffice to be freely
+re-used in other projects, and I am looking forward to cross-project collaboration in the best interest of users." <br/>
+— Andrea Pescetti, member of the Project Management Committee and the Italian OpenOffice community
+</p>
+<p>
+"Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is a major milestone for our OpenOffice community in Taiwan, because it is the first release

+— Yang Shih-Ching, member of the Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee, and the OpenOffice Taiwan community
+</p>

+ <h2>The Apache Software Foundation Statement on Apache OpenOffice</h2>
+ <p><em>14 October 2011:</em> On 1 June 2011, Oracle Corporation submitted the OpenOffice.org code base to The Apache
+ Software Foundation. That submission was accepted, and the project is now being developed as a podling in the Apache
+ Incubator under the ASF's meritocratic process informally dubbed "The Apache Way". OpenOffice.org is now officially part
+ of the Apache family. The project is known as Apache OpenOffice. Over its 12-year history, the ASF has
+ welcomed contributions from individuals and organizations alike, but, as a policy, does not solicit code donations. The
+ OpenOffice.org code base was not pursued by the ASF prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator.
