+               <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;We made &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&amp;amp;msgNo=358&quot;&gt;the
 formal announcement&lt;/a&gt; today that the recently released OpenOffice.org 
2.4 included some security vulnerabily fixes. We normally release this 
information when the software is released. This time, Sun Microsystems had not 
completed the necessary US export classification process for StarOffice at the 
launch date, so we held back the announcement until StarOffice was able to 
ship.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, we get emails from people asking whether they should 
update. Here&amp;#8217;s my response:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Thu, April 17, 2008 08:35, A concerned user 
wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
+&amp;gt; i&amp;#8217;m using openoffice portable 2.3.1.&lt;br /&gt;
+&amp;gt; what would you suggest?&lt;br /&gt;
+&amp;gt; tks&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I suggest you contact the maintainer of the version you are using, 
and ask when 2.4 will be available.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We always advise people to upgrade when we release security fixes - 
this is best practice in the IT industry. However, you can always do your own 
risk assessment. Look at the &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html&quot;&gt;security 
bulletin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for what has been fixed. How do you use 
OpenOffice.org? e.g. if there is a vulnerability around &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html&quot;&gt;opening 
Quattro Pro files&lt;/a&gt;, and you never open Quattro Pro files, then you 
might decide the risk of not upgrading is acceptable for you 
personally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In fact, the message is simple: the vast majority of exploits require 
you to accept a file from someone else, or download a file from the internet. 
If you regularly click on links in emails from people you don&amp;#8217;t know, 
or without checking they are genuine, then &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;be scared, be 
very scared&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/04/17/todays-security-announcement/</link>
+       <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;We made &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&amp;amp;msgNo=358&quot;&gt;the
 formal announcement&lt;/a&gt; today that the recently released OpenOffice.org 
2.4 included some security vulnerabily fixes. We normally release this 
information when the software is released. This time, Sun Microsystems had not 
completed the necessary US export classification process for StarOffice at the 
launch date, so we held back the announcement until StarOffice was able to 
ship.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, we get emails from people asking whether they should 
update. Here&amp;#8217;s my response:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Thu, April 17, 2008 08:35, A concerned user 
wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
+&amp;gt; i&amp;#8217;m using openoffice portable 2.3.1.&lt;br /&gt;
+&amp;gt; what would you suggest?&lt;br /&gt;
+&amp;gt; tks&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I suggest you contact the maintainer of the version you are using, 
and ask when 2.4 will be available.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We always advise people to upgrade when we release security fixes - 
this is best practice in the IT industry. However, you can always do your own 
risk assessment. Look at the &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html&quot;&gt;security 
bulletin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for what has been fixed. How do you use 
OpenOffice.org? e.g. if there is a vulnerability around &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html&quot;&gt;opening 
Quattro Pro files&lt;/a&gt;, and you never open Quattro Pro files, then you 
might decide the risk of not upgrading is acceptable for you 
personally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In fact, the message is simple: the vast majority of exploits require 
you to accept a file from someone else, or download a file from the internet. 
If you regularly click on links in emails from people you don&amp;#8217;t know, 
or without checking they are genuine, then &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;be scared, be 
very scared&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

        <description>In 2006, a Personal Information Manager (PIM) has been 
added to the roadmap of &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/&quot;&gt;OpenOffice.org&lt;/a&gt;. Users 
constantly asked for this feature, and it's still seen as a key missing piece 
towards a full OpenSource Office solution. The PIM targets to complete 
OpenOffice.org's productivity offering by providing an integrated E-Mail, 
calendaring and addressbook client. The &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/wednesday_186.pdf&quot;&gt;roadmap
 presented at OOoCon 2007&lt;/a&gt; lists it as one of the highlights of the 
upcoming OpenOffice.org 3.0 release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what has 
happened and is going on in this project, what's the current status?&lt;br 
/&gt;Back in 2006, a team of Sun's &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/staroffice/&quot;&gt;StarOffice&lt;/a&gt; 
engineers joined the &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/&quot;&gt;Mozilla Calendar 
Project&lt;/a&gt; in order to improve and contribute to its products: &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/&quot;&gt;Lightning&lt;/a&gt;,
 a calendaring add-on for &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozillamessaging.com/&quot;&gt;Thunderbird&lt;/a&gt; and 
&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/&quot;&gt;Sunbird&lt;/a&gt;,
 a standalone calendar client (sharing the same &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/&quot;&gt;code 
base&lt;/a&gt;). Especially Thunderbird/Lightning seems to perfectly fit the 
needs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thunderbird is widely adopted and the de 
facto number #1 OS E-Mail client.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All major platforms of 
OpenOffice.org are covered.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Almost all locales of 
OpenOffice.org are supported.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There's a vibrant 
community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;By now, we have 
contributed to several releases of Lightning and Sunbird. Not only in terms of 
code – but also in terms of feature and roadmap planning, user interface 
design, testing and release engineering. We first focussed on improving the 
core product(s) rather than an integration story with OpenOffice.org, 
implementing features, but also fixing bloody bugs.&lt;br /&gt;The product(s) 
already offer a pretty decent feature set like nice event and task handling, a 
&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Mail_Mode_with_Today_Pane&quot;&gt;today
 pane&lt;/a&gt; for Thunderbird, popup alarms, good timezone support, E-Mail 
based invitations, support for various remote protocols, e.g. &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://rfc.net/rfc2518.html&quot;&gt;WebDAV&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://rfc.net/rfc2445.html&quot;&gt;ics&lt;/a&gt; files), &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791&quot;&gt;CalDAV&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Calendar_Access_Protocol&quot;&gt;WCAP&lt;/a&gt;
 (&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/index.xml&quot;&gt;Sun
 Java System Calendar Server&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://calendar.google.com/&quot;&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/a&gt;. With 
the latest &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/releases/lightning0.8.html&quot;&gt;Lightning
 0.8&lt;/a&gt;, a new &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning:Screenshots#Task_Mode&quot;&gt;task
 mode&lt;/a&gt; has been added, providing fine-grained control over 
tasks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I like most on Thunderbird/Lightning 
is to have both E-Mail and an aggregrate of all my various calendars in one 
application: public holiday calendars, my Sun work calendars and all people I 
am subscribed to, my private calendar, my wife's Google calendar, the team's 
calendar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check it out! It's certainly not final, but 
we &lt;a 
href=&quot;news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.calendar&quot;&gt;like to 
know&lt;/a&gt; what you think about it. Moreover if you have fresh ideas about 
an integration with OpenOffice.org or want to help another way, &lt;a 
href=&quot;news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.calendar&quot;&gt;let us 
know&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
