OpenOffice sites and Heartbleed bug

2014-04-12 Thread Andrea Pescetti
You've probably heard about the Heartbleed security bug: 
http://heartbleed.com/


The Apache Infra team (thanks!) extensively checked all the 
infrastructure at the Apache Software Foundation, including the 
OpenOffice sites. They reported their findings at

https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/heartbleed_fallout_for_apache

As far as OpenOffice services are concerned:
- https://forum.openoffice.org is safe
- https://wiki.openoffice.org is safe
- https://www.openoffice.org is safe
since we were not running any Heartbleed-vulnerable software there.

In short, wiki and forum users do not need to take any actions.

You can find a note on all wiki pages at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page
and it would be good if a forum moderator can post an announcement to 
the forum too, to reassure users.


Regards,
  Andrea.

The expected outcomes are:

Tester ā€“ Bug report.


Hello Pedro,
we probably overlooked your message since we were busy in preparing the 
new 4.1 release, now in its final testing phase.


We would surely welcome working with you! You can find some basic 
information about development and QA at

http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/
and, once you get your build done, please e-mail us and we can find 
suitable tasks for you. Feel free to ask questions at any time.


Regards,
  Andrea.
