Interview With Gary Edwards of OpenOffice.org

silentbob4 writes "Hot on the heels of yesterdays interview of Sun's Florian Reuter posted on Slashdot comes a two page interview with OpenOffice.org's Gary Edwards. In this installment, Gary discusses the importance of open document formats and hints to the release date of OpenOffice.org 2.0: 'No one knows for certain when OpenOffice.org 2.0 stable will be released, but Mad Penguin's bet is that the stable 2.0 release will come before any recently purchased cartons of milk expire in your refrigerator.'"

milk

[Bradee-oh!]

I have a carton of non-fat powdered milk I keep in my fridge cause I have no cabinet space... *sigh* that stuff lasts forever.

A New Pseudo-Unit!

[adavies42]

I hereby proclaim the lacto-expiration the pseudo-unit of time. This fills an important gap in the pseudo-unit lineup, which includes the football field (length), the Library of Congress (data), and the Hiroshima bomb (energy).

I only came in...

[Short Circuit]

...to joke about milk. But, after reading the other posts, that topic's already soured.

My Milk Never Expires

[Dante Shamest]

I drink it straight from the source.

Monday!

At least you can look forward to getting Duke Nukem Forever before it expires. Maybe.

Re:I only came in...

In other news: Duke Nukem Forever to be released before a recently purchased can of chicken soup goes bad.

Confirmed!!!

[Shadow Wrought]

Netcraft just confirmed it- your milk's expired.

Dang.

[halivar]

I just remembered I had milk in the office fridge from 03/05. I guess that was the Longhorn countdown milk. Here's hoping OO.o can do better!

This is supposed to be funny

Sigh, yet another SHAMELESS money grab as developpers rush out another product in time for the Christmas retail season... :)

Don't worry, you can pass the time playing a game on your Phantom [infiniumlabs.com].

Yea, they are getting pretty cheesy too...

[StressGuy]

Re:got milk?

[Anne_Nonymous]

>> OOo 2.0

I just want to know if the primordial version was called OOo 0.0.

How do you make a Penguin mad?

[digitaldc]

Tell him that that his new workplace is casual dress.

Re:I only came in...

[Anonymous Coward]

Yes, I'm afraid it's already been milked for all it's worth.

Oh, crap!

[Descalzo]

but Mad Penguin's bet is that the stable 2.0 release will come before any recently purchased cartons of milk expire in your refrigerator.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to buy Parmalat.

Broken

My fridge is broken. Yay - I get OpenOffice 2.0 today!
