Sigh. What should I say? Was this not the expected outcome? I could

one there would listen. Or not?
Oracle turned the whole thing over to Apache years ago, and Apache has
been managing that community ever since.
And why did things go south that fast then? Didn't Oracle also pull
the plug on the in house dev team - which in turn then went to work on
Libreoffice instead?
Yes, Oracle killed the product, got out of the office suite market, laid off
the team, and instead of leaving the code to rot, donated it to Apache. It
wasn't trying to grow a community, just let the community have a chance to
continue without it.
