LibreOffice 3.3.1 brings new colored icons and eliminates various 
problems to improve stability

The Document Foundation maintains its enterprising release schedule

The Internet, February 23, 2011 - The Document Foundation announces 
LibreOffice 3.3.1, the first micro release of the free office suite for 
personal productivity, to improve the stability of the software and 
eliminate several bugs and crashes affecting Windows, Linux and MacOS X 
versions. LibreOffice 3.3.1 also brings new colorful icons based on The 
Document Foundation branding guidelines, and includes updates to 
several language versions.

"LibreOffice 3.3 was our very first stable release, and the feedback 
from users has been extremely positive," says Thorsten Behrens, one of 
the developers with a seat on the Steering Committee. "We have managed 
to troubleshoot a large number of bugs within a very short time, in 
order to maintain our enterprising release schedule. There will be 
another minor release in a month, before our second feature release in 
early May."

LibreOffice 3.3.1 has been rolled out only one week after the launch of 
the funds challenge to collect donations towards the 50,000-euro 
capital needed to establish The Document Foundation in Germany. An 
information website has been put online at 
http://challenge.documentfoundation.org, 
where you can donate via PayPal or bank transfer.

By just one week after the launch, more than 40,000 euros had been 
accumulated, bringing the final target very close. All additional funds 
collected before the closing date of March 21 will be used for 
operating expenses such as infrastructure costs and registration of 
domain names and trademarks, as well as for marketing expenses such as 
travel funding for TDF representatives speaking at conferences, booth 
fees for trade shows, and initial financing of merchandising items, 
DVDs and printed material. There is a blog post on this subject: 
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/02/23/you-are-our-rockstars/.

During next week end, US volunteers from The Document Foundation will 
be taking part at this year's Southern California Linux Festival 
(SCALE) in Long Beach, CA, showcasing LibreOffice 3.3.1 for Linux, 
Windows and MacOS in Booth #4 in the International Ballroom.

The Document Foundation is at http://documentfoundation.org, while 
LibreOffice is at http://www.libreoffice.org. LibreOffice 3.3.1 is 
immediately available from the download page:
