Toot

Written by LibreOffice on 2024-12-24 at 19:54

OpenOffice has multiple unfixed security issues, over a year old, as this image from the Board report says. And no new committers since 2022, and no major release since 2014. Maybe the FOSS community can ask the Apache Software Foundation to finally put it in the Attic, and stop leaving users vulnerable: https://www.apache.org/foundation/contact

@libreoffice This only warrants an 'amber' status?

@libreoffice

It is interesting to note that their brand appears to be strong. Even all these years. I met more people during the past few years who know OpenOffice but not LibreOffice.

Anyway, I am old enough to remember the discussion during the fork. Many were skeptical regarding the license, the development model of LO. Things turned to the good, I would say.

And we even have Collabora Office now.

@devSJR Yes, and one of the problems is that they still promote it as the "leading open-source office software suite", despite knowingly serving people unmaintained software with security issues.

@libreoffice

Love libre office!

But no matter how many security issues Open Office has, it's still better than the cloud Microsoft #AI surveillance data intake that is the commercial "alternative".

Love libre office!

@libreoffice Where is that “board report”? Where can we find release histories?

@mark @libreoffice you are replying to LibreOffice. Literally the alternative, as it's a fork.

@libreoffice It is even worse than that, I had a conversation with a fellow parishioner over a morning tea where he extolled moving to OpenOffice.

On discussion about the security and release issues with AOO, he clarified that yes, he had moved to LibreOffice but still thought of it as OpenOffice.

The moribund AOO sadly continues to cause active harm to users :-(

@libreoffice …people will never stop using it as long as it is available regardless of whether it is safe or not. I could post a copy of OG IBM lotus notes (which was terrible when new) and, if it was free, it would be popular.
