Subject: [ooo-announce] One hundred million downloads of OOo 3
To: announce at openoffice.org


Yesterday, Wednesday 28th., the one hundred millionth person clicked on the
"Download OpenOffice.org" button since version 3 of the software was
announced just over one year ago.

What makes the statistics impressive is that we only record downloads via
the OpenOffice.org website, and exclude for example large numbers of Linux
users who generally download software from their own distributor. In
addition, many users obtain OpenOffice.org via other mirrors, peer-to-peer
networks, CDs, or other media.

Congratulations to all community members who have contributed to this
milestone in any way. We hope many of you will be able to celebrate with us
at OOoCon 2009 next week in Orvieto, Italy - the "Cento Milioni Conference"
