This topic sounds important, so I'm moving it to its own thread.
OK, let's talk about a maintenance release first; but at some point we
could broaden the scope to releases of Apache OpenOffice too.

removal of the Oracle branding is the easy part. As said before, having a
joint messaging with ASF about this release and the future releases is some
work to do. Adopting references from old OpenOffice.org instances (forums,
mailing lists, issue tracking) to the new ones in the ReadMe File is another
issue we are still working on.
It is hard to think about a joint message when we know almost nothing
about what you are doing. What we're doing here at Apache is clear --
you see our mailing lists, wiki, SVN repository, etc. It is all very
open and transparent.
Do you have a mailing list or something that we can subscribe to?
Could you say a little about what your short term and longer term
goals are?
Martin and others mentioned that there is a need to show a sign of life
to OpenOffice.org users.
For us short term goals are to (re)gain confidence in OpenOffice.org
and support for the existing user base. We think this requires a release
rather soon; and we don't see a conflict but a complement with work
going on in the project here.
Long term we want to further sustainable development work. This will
result in a reliable product that is improved and delivered at regular
intervals. We see such a product as the basis for ongoing business.
We are comfortable about continuing the talk here on this list. I
would appreciate if we come to a picture that satisfies users, the
project and the participants.

The coding work we've done in the 3.3.1 is about some security and bugfixing
issues,
