Attachment AX: Report from the Apache OpenOffice Project [Peter Kovacs]

Attachment AZ: Report from the Apache OpenOffice Project [Peter Kovacs]

## DESCRIPTION

Apache OpenOffice is an open-source office-document productivity suite. There

are six productivity applications based around the OpenDocument Format (ODF)

that are Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, Base. With limited support for

other file formats, OpenOffice ships for Windows, macOS, Linux 64-bit, Linux

other file formats, OpenOffice ships for Windows, MacOS, Linux 64-bit, Linux

32-bit and in 41 languages.

## STATUS

## SUMMARY

The activity within the project has been low during summer month. People

started to be more active very late in this quarter. Our main focus is

currently divided, between OpenOffice development topics and Infrastructure

topics. Branching and volunteer recruiting receive only little attention.

This report has been sent in with a month delay due to full time schedules in

January. The Project did a release in November, containing bug fixes and a

security fix. The development regained activity concerning the modernization

of the code and build environment itself. One result of this development has

been that the process for releasing 4.2.0 has built momentum again.

## ISSUES FOR BOARD AWARENESS

There are no current topics to be concerned with.

Issue: CVE-2018-16858 It is a moderate security vulnerability affecting

another program. We were notified that it could be impacting OpenOffice in a

significantly less dangerous form. We are still investigating. If OpenOffice

is actually affected, a fix will be included in the next release.

## RELEASES

We are still preparing 2 releases.

We are working in parallel on 2 release lines: 1) 4.2.0 is the next minor

We still use the Apache CMS for our web presence. It seems it is currently

setup. Resolution to this issue is unacceptable in a mid term time frame. Only

little development has been done in this branch. However, without help from

outside the Project it's expected that this problem won't get solved.

## MARKETING

The German community is producing new flyers for the Booth team in German and

English. We are looking for translators into other languages.

We have applied for an own booth on FOSDEM next year, answer still pending.

We did not get a booth on FOSDEM and at first our application for a

documenters room was rejected. On short notice we were notified that the

documenters room has not been rejected. Some of our developer community will

still meet at FOSDEM, but with smaller engagement then in the last years due

to the short notice.

The German booth team will attend more conferences in Germany.
