The Openoffice community has rebranded itself as The Document Foundation. This foundation is currently working on the development of LIbreoffice. Libreoffice is an independant fork of Openoffice which was formed by the community of developers working on Openoffice. In the LibreOffice press release the foundation invites Oracle "to become a member of the new Foundation, and donate the brand the community has grown during the past ten years. Pending this decision, the brand "LibreOffice" has been chosen for the software going forward." They're waiting for a response from Oracle.
In the meantime, a beta is available for download. Here's how to do it.
Grab the tar.gz file from here and extract it on your pc. This will download the .deb files you'll need. Open terminal and navigate to the folder named DEBS
Type in the command
sudo dpkg -i *
Move to the folder named DEBS/desktop_integration and repeat the command
sudo dpkg -i *
The LibreOffice 3.3 icons should now be available under Applications>Office.
