Fresh from Enterpise Linux comes news that Google is helping to improve the open-source product, OpenOffice.

According to Chris DiBona, manager for open-source programs at Google, the current version of OpenOffice suffers from a few fairly large problems, such as a large memory requirement and a large download size.

Google plans to hire additional programmers to help the OpenOffice team with these and other issues.
