I sure have been
Since I've been complaining to OOo ever since before 1.0 about database capabilities, how could I not be a beta tester?

I even hacked out a crude ebuild (almost embarrassingly crude, but at least it worked) to install the tarballed RPMs before the true beta came out, and before Gentoo thought it necessary to include a more refined one in Portage.

It's a good thing I did too. There were so many problems with the early versions of the database I was beginning to wonder if it would get fixed in time for a spring or early summer 2005 release. And I'm sure my feedback (and feedback from other Gentoo users who tried my ebuild) helped a bit.
