So the 1st of May is usually marked on the calendar as the labor day and many people go to the streets and manifest demanding rights and all that fun stuff. Well speaking aobut fun stuff, OOo is launched their first 1.0 release just 4 years ago.
Thank’s to Pavel’s detective work for pointing this email from 2002 announcing the release of OOo
