Happy Birthday, OpenOffice!
Anyone remember what happen 10 years ago today April 30th, 2002?
http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/ooo_release.html
And today the vote to approve the Apache OpenOffice 3.4 release ends.
OpenOffice.org 1.0 took the community 18 months to produce. AOO 3.4
was a fast effort, in comparison.
Here's to the next decade of OpenOffice!

Golly, a BIRTHDAY - I downloaded a free trial Illustrator and worked this up really quickly. It just didn't seem right not to attempt something for a 10 year old! I read that Apache celebrated their birthday in February (born 1995)

Hey all,
Folklore is an important part of any sustainable community, we should
celebrate and promote this milestone.
The anniversary could give our marketing push for 3.4 some great visibility.
Finally, we can use the narrative as an opportunity for people to reflect
on how they have used our product over the past years, and invite them to
tell us how they would expect to use OpenOffice in the next ten years.
UX could blog on this topic to start the conversation. I'll put it on my
list.
Some thoughts.
Regards,
Kevin

now -- THIS is a fun little factoid! :)
I started using openoffice.org in 2001, but I guess it was *before* the
1.0 release.
