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

Attachment AX: 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.

## SUMMARY

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

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

release, planned to be released into a beta phase. We have missed our goal on

going into the beta in 2018. We managed only to solve the biggest blockers. 2)

Currently dev test versions are being rolled to be more widely tested. 2)

4.1.x is still in maintenance. We are discussing a parallel 4.1.7 release. The

motivation in maintaining the 4.1.x line is not very high. We will shut it

down as soon as we have a stable release of 4.2.x,

We have initiated a new VM payed from the Project Funds in 2018 Q3, for a

reviving the OpenGrok Service. We are still in the process of setting the

system up.

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

unmaintained and unsupported. The recommendation is to migrate to a different

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.

before. Still our Members have been on the event and used the time to network.
