There are several near-term milestones for the project that are inherent to the Apache Incubation process, and to the this project specifically:

  • First Build is reached when we have received and stored into the repository the code from Oracle necessary to build the current version of OpenOffice.org on Windows, Linux and Mac. 
  • First Release means that we have a build that is approved by the PPMC and IPMC for release.  
  • OpenOffice.org Website transfer.  Oracle has offered to keep the existing OpenOffice.org website up for a transition period.  But we must develop a plan for how we eventually host that site.
