Apache Open Office, a suite of office productivity software offered by The Apache Software Foundation, seems to be an un-maintained project despite its recent version release in 2014. The software’s history dates back to the creation of StarOffice in 1985, which was later open-sourced by Sun Microsystems resulting in the birth of OpenOffice.org. However, with the formation of The Document Foundation, LibreOffice became the actively maintained office software. Oracle eventually handed over OpenOffice.org to The Apache Software Foundation, leading to the development of Apache Open Office. Since its last major release in 2014, Apache Open Office has mostly received bug fixes and dictionary updates, with a surprisingly large number of commits dedicated to whitespace changes. The lack of substantial updates or transparency regarding the project’s development raises concerns about how the foundation masks the project’s inactivity. As users, we can voice our dissatisfaction to The Apache Software Foundation and consider using actively maintained office software instead.
