The office suite OpenOffice 3.3 Beta is out and can now be downloaded for testing.

OpenOffice is an open office suite compatible with Microsoft Office being developed by Oracle. Now the first beta of OpenOffice 3.3.0 is available for download.
The module for graphs have been improved, so it is now possible to insert simple objects in the graph. The database connections have also become more visible. With the help of metadata, you can now see specific column descriptions that you might have in the database.
The entire list of what is fixed in OpenOffice 3.3.0 Beta 1 can be found on the OpenOffice.org Wiki.

No date is set for the final release of OpenOffice 3.3.0, but the tests are however planned to last until the 2nd of September. A Release Candidate and the final release should be available within a month from that date.
The Beta is available for Windows, Linux and Mac, and can be downloaded here.
