Hello! My name is Andrey. I work in a company "Nation Information of
Technologies" in Kazakhstan. I need to install Apache OpenOffice on AIX
5.3. I know that Apache OpenOffice don't support for AIX officially. Is it
possible to build special installer for AIX? Can you help me or send to me
some links to resources that describe process of building and installation
Apache OpenOffice on AIX.****

Thanks for contacting the Apache OpenOffice project. Currently there is no
one maintaining the AIX port of OpenOffice. This means it would require
some development work to get the current OpenOffice code to compile and run
on that platform.
You can find more information on porting here, including links to technical
information: http://www.openoffice.org/porting/
If you have a serious interest in an AIX port and are willing to help with
the technical work, it might be worth us posting a "call for volunteers" on
our project blog, to see if anyone else is interested in helping with an
AIX port. If another 4 or 5 people are interested in helping, and they
have the right skills, then this could be possible. That is how open
source software works -- finding the critical mass of people willing to
work together on the same task.
A litte addition:
The last real activities on the AIX port were in 2003 and IMHO the
leader was Ken Foskey:

Maybe he is still available via the mail address and could help you.
