Hi All:

Libre Office 4 has just been released. There are many new features and as
always with a totally new release it undoubtedly has its little bugs and
annoyances...

I will wait until 4.x before unleashing it on the clients. 

There is an interesting feature that will allow you to use your Smartphone
to control a slide presentation. :-) There might even be a Android version
in the works but the full office package still has to squeezed down below
the 50 MB limit.

Also there is a parallel project which is planning to release a direct
competitor to Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps... You can check out the
plans and current projects at http://www.openoffice.org
