Idea #16659: OpenOffice.org 3 On Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 15 January 09. Available starting Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.
Written by sf_007 the 20 Dec 08 at 03:48. Related project: OpenOffice.org Word Processor. Status: Implemented
Rationale
One thing that surprised me once I was testing the alpha 2 of Ubuntu 9.04, was that it included OpenOffice.org 2.4 - What?!?! It's an alpha! it should be bleeding edge and include the latest software! (correction: yeah, alpha is not about bleeding edge software, it's about bleeding edge OS)
Even sister (daughter?) distros like Super Ubuntu and so already include it!

I really hope we get OO.org 3 in the final version!

obviously they'll fix this when the official release comes up.

There is no reason why you shouldn't be using OO3 on 8.10 now, so I'm sure devs will manage to add it to 9.04 ;)

OO3 will be in the 9.04 release by default.

alpha != bleeding edge.

It's a testing version of the version to be released.

@Emacs23 I see that you're still defending your title of the most immature poster here. First of all 3.0 will replace 2.4, that's sure. Secondly name one thing that's wrong with 3.0 as opposed to 2.4. I've been using OO 3 for over a month and never met with any stability problems.

It's been stated many times that when 3.0.1 (3.1?) comes out it will be added to the repositories... likely it is not in the alpha because they haven't spent time doing any packaging yet (which doesn't seem unreasonable)

But I insist we need to replace this crap with software that respects system approach to gui. Even m$ in their m$ office for mac respects mac HIG, but this shit doesn't - it uses crappy windows UI for all systems.

Emacs23 i hope you realize odf is a actual true standard format used by more than OpenOffice even KOffice Google and an array of other places support it.

While OpenOffice does use the same interface throughout the layout it simple enough to understand no use rearraging the everyday accessed tools for a different platform of the same program. Though i do agree OpenOffice does needa new interface.

Anyways back to topic. Hopeing for OpenOffice 3.0.1 in Jaunty or OxygenOffice 3.0 ( based off Go-OO which is an improved OpenOffice, in terms of features. )

Remember that it's an alpha. But if the final version of 9.04 still doesn't have it, something's wrong.

borsook wrote on the 23 Dec 08 at 15:38
@ubunturules246865 - but that's the point! It should be in alpha. OO 3 did not make it into 8.10 with the silly excuse that it's not tested enough. So when they're going to test it if it's not provided in the test release? I know that OO 3 is used widely outside Ubuntu test versions, but since OO is so important for Ubuntu and we have people willing to test 9.04 alpha, they could at the same time test OO 3...

As long as it the *real* OpenOffice.org? +1

Forked versions like go-oo? No thank you.

OO 3 is ready to be included in jaunty, but there are still some dependencies that need to be fixed. This will be done soon.

Why don't use the 3.1 version ? It'll be ready in April 9 according openoffice wiki.
