Two current articles
I have been sent these URLs for two current articles predicting doom and gloom for OpenOffice. I echo them here for information.

Thanks, being open has it´s drawbacks. The whole community participated in
making the report, something I strongly prefer, and he
used (against advice) not the final version, which is significantly
different, but the version that fitted his message best.
I do not believe being secret about our challenges is the right way, even
though such articles are not pleasant reading. We will always have
people who misuse drafts, but I am not prepared to make reports with only a
little circle of people. We are an open community and I for one
am proud that we dare discuss openly.
The facts of the report are correct, they can be found by studying this ML.
Instead of discussion how unfair life is, let us all, use this as a turning
point, to get the activity levels up where they belong.
I had a lot of positive input at apacheCON Austin, and it is my hope that
some of it turn into realities.
