[Marketing] OpenOffice in the news
Since the marketing list was closes earlier this year, I'll toss this here. As I am sure some of you are no doubt aware, there was yet-another call for the ASF to drop your project that made a brief blip in the media cycle earlier this week: https://rocket9labs.com/post/its-time-to-let-go-apache-software-foundation/ Variations of this argument has been repeatedly made over the course of OpenOffice's tenure within the ASF, and while M has no plans to respond to this article or any others along these lines, I would be remiss if I didn't recommend to the PMC that some sort of response from the project itself (either through a statement, future roadmap, a new release, etc.) would be a good idea. The fact of the matter is that because of its download popularity, the status of OpenOffice has a very strong perceptual effect on the rest of the ASF. So, if OpenOffice is perceived as a "dead" project, that potentially propagates the myth that ASF is a place where projects go to die. Again, this is just a recommendation. As long as OpenOffice abides by the governance of the ASF, you are free to make your own choices. Let me know if you need assistance in addressing this issue, happy to volunteer some time to it.
