OpenOffice

OpenOffice is a great word processor / spreadsheet / slide show program which is becoming a good replacement for Microsoft Office. It's being funded by Sun Microsystems, but is community-supported Free Software. If you like, you can make a difference in its development by acting as a QA liason, or simply by helping your organization save money by embracing OpenOffice.

Here are a few pages I've written about OpenOffice:

OpenOffice 2.0 Status - quick look at OpenOffice 2.0 issues (with links to the bug tracking database)
OpenOffice 1.1.1 Changes - quick look at what issues were fixed in OpenOffice 1.1.1
