The Document Foundation, creators of the LibreOffice office suite, have announced in a press release that they will be moving to Berlin, in the legal form of a German Stiftung.

A "Stiftung" is a German Foundation established with an endowment and supervised by state authorities, according to The Document Foundation.

"For the first time in 12 years, the development of the free office suite finally takes place within an entity that not only perfectly fits the valuesand ideals of the worldwide community, but also has this very same community driving it."

"The future home of the best free office suite is built and shaped by everyone who decides to participate and join." - said Florian Effenberger, Chairman of the Board at TDF in the press release.

At the moment, The Document Foundation is providing LibreOffice 3.4.5 / 3.5.0 RC2, which you can download right now from Softpedia.
