Hi,

it’s time for a next milestone in the development of OpenOffice.org. To fulfill this goal I’ve uploaded OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 Release Candidate 1 (build OOO310_m18) to FTP master. The version will install as OpenOffice.org 3.1.1.

All files except Windows have been uploaded to extended mirrors listed at http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors#mirrors (extended mirrors are marked with “E”). Windows builds are not ready yet and will be uploaded later.

Attention: This is just a message to inform you about the upload of the binaries to the mirror network. The files need to distribute first and they are available *earliest* in approximately 24-48 hours. Please don’t download them before.
