See [here|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201212.mbox/%3C50C36076.5010406%40apache.org%3E] and [here|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201212.mbox/%3CCAP-ksojd3bJ4oFw_CuO_3VJAKJCr6tT1Qpt08cSrdtS0cWFOYQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E] for context._ Apache OpenOffice *(EARLY DRAFT)* Apache OpenOffice is an open-source, office-document productivity suite providing six productivity applications based around the OpenDocument Format (ODF). OpenOffice is released on multiple platforms and in dozens of languages. Issues for Board Awareness * Veto discussion, uncertainties about the policy, now clarified after an articulated discussion on the members list; this will reduce the risk of similar discussions to happen again in future. * Some resources (Forum, MWiki, Buildbots, new Pootle) are very important for the project. We ask the Board to consider providing Infra with the needed resources. Community Development/Outreach Progress * New committers/PMC members: New committers: Samer Mansour, 2013-03-21. * Infrastructure: MWiki upgrade, logo refresh, new localization process, orientation modules for new volunteers. * Blogs calling for new developer, documentation, QA volunteers have proved successful * Events report: FOSDEM, ApacheCon NA in Portland * End User Support: Community support forums remain popular with users. The mailing lists for user support, localization, QA and marketing are quite active. As Apache OpenOffice is a client product, we continue to investigate ways to direct users to appropriate support venues. The developer list, ooo-dev, remains very active. Product/Project Development Progress * New Release Schedule: The next OpenOffice release will be labeled 4.0. Plans are to release in June, 2013. * New ports, languages and other distribution channels: ** The new release in June will be provided in many more native languages. New volunteers have come forth to assist with this effort. ** Build work has started for reinstating OpenOffice into Linux repositories, currently Fedora at this time. * Update Release: The project released an update to version 3.4.1 in late January, to include 8 new language translations made available by volunteers. * Product/Project Development: Work is beginning on a Strategic Plan for the project. The plan will likely be sub-divided into various components : Web/Wiki ,User Support, Documentation, Project: General, Project: Writer, Project: Calc, Project:Base, etc. We anticipate this will be a rather lengthy process involving both volunteers and our end users.
