OpenOffice.org Portable 3.0 m5Submitted by andreasma on September 5, 2008 - 5:21pm
In the last hours I created a portable version of the new OpenOffice.org 3.0 m5. It's currently only an english version (en-US). I want to provide it for testing. ( categories: )

I'm pretty sure John Has this
I'm pretty sure John Has this under the hood right now. Meaning Old off a bit ask John first if you do that release as he maintains the current Open-Office.org Portable releases.

Not Yet
Marko will be doing this once it reaches RC1. We only do it at the Beta or RC stages for OpenOffice.org.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Marko is informed
I work together with Marko in the de-project of OOo. I informed Marko per mail, so that he hadn't to do this issue a second time.
We should wait for RC2 ...
cause there are some show stoppers in RC1.
Andreas is one of the founders of the German portable team and my collegue at de.openoffice.org. He has sent me a hint that he is willing to help more on the OpenOffice.org Portable stuff.
I've sent him an answer in order to find a way to coordinate the work for version 3.
At the moment I write down some kind of "make.txt' with all the tasks in order to get version 3 as portable.

are these new showstoppers or were they already in Beta 1 and 2? If the latter applies I see no reason why to wait for RC2 - other than scarce resources or RC2 is coming out soon... I haven't tested m5 yet, but m4 seems to be by far faster than the earlier builds - so I would be very happy to enjoy this advantage not only on my home computer but also at work...

M5 is drastically faster than
M5 is drastically faster than the any of the other builds. It's definitely shaping up nicely.
New stoppers ...
... (no real critical) and RC2 will be available at the and of this or the begining of next week, so we will wait for this version.

According to filehippo, http://filehippo.com/download_openoffice/, its been out for a few days.
Don't know if it's the wrong file, or maybe they are just slow at updating their main website.

OpenOffice.org released the 3.0 binaries to their official mirrors a couple days ago, but aren't making an official announcement until Monday or Tuesday. Places like filehippo found them and are unofficial mirrors.

As I already pointed out, the official P2P page contains several torrents since a few days, the JavaScript UI is here:

Down
OpenOffice.org seems to be down right now... no matter what page I go to, I get a 403. Apparently I don't have permission to access "ContentHelmNoodle", whatever that is.
Server misconfiguration, I'm sure.
The only problem is, there are several problems.
ihave it
It's all good.
I'm just fine with 2.4.1 for now.

It's Out. Officially
Servers are a bit slow on my side. I saw the homepage a few minutes before and open office was officially released.
Please make a portable version soon, because I don't have admin power on this computer.
Yep, out officially and wildly popular
For some reason, the demand for release 3.0.0 is way beyond anything they anticipated. Their servers are still unable to handle the traffic. I was able to download and install the local version because it has such significant improvements over image handling and spreadsheet functionality. I imagine the portable version will be equally popular among portable app afficionados. Even with a local copy available (for part of the day at least), I'm still chafing at the bit.
Cheers!
