Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
Apache OpenOffice - Wikipedia

@libreoffice I suspect that “OpenOffice” is just an easier name to remember and say given the alliteration. I also guess that Apache still have this project due to Oracle garbage.

In a perfect world maybe the entity called LibreOffice could also go by OpenOffice and maybe even other translations of “Open”. A rose by any other name etc.
