Sun Microsystems announced it would make the source code of StarOffice available for download with the intention of building an open-source development community around the software and of providing a free and open alternative to Microsoft Office.[10][11][23] The new project was known as OpenOffice.org,[24] and the code was released as open source on 13 October 2000.[25] The first public preview release was Milestone Build 638c, released in October 2001 (which quickly achieved 1 million downloads[19]); the final release of OpenOffice.org 1.0 was on 1 May 2002
