folks,
the following statement is of interest to users of OpenOffice:
Contemplating the possible retirement of Apache OpenOffice
Outgoing Apache OpenOffice project management committee (PMC) chair
Dennis Hamilton has begun the discussion of a possible (note possible
at this point) shutdown of the project. "In the case of Apache
OpenOffice, needing to disclose security vulnerabilities for which
there is no mitigation in an update has become a serious issue. In
responses to concerns raised in June, the PMC is currently tasked by
the ASF Board to account for this inability and to provide a remedy.
An indicator of the seriousness of the Board's concern is the PMC been
requested to report to the Board every month, starting in August,
rather than quarterly, the normal case. One option for remedy that
must be considered is retirement of the project. The request is for
the PMC's consideration among other possible options."
