AOO 3.4.1 and Mountain Lion support?
Has anyone upgraded yet and tried installing 3.4.0 or 3.4.1? I heard
that having a digital signature is now required. Is that true? Any
workarounds? Anything we should put in the release notes about
Mountain Lion?

The same goes for LibreOffice of course, which has exactly the same
problem (i.e. as yet uncertified/unsigned according to Apple's rules).
Business users/admins will find this unacceptable and switch to an app
that is signed.
How does Symphony fare, will it be / is it signed ?

Hello to Rob and all developers,
I have been testing out Mountian Lion since 2 months ago and you can install and run AOO on it. The only thing that prevents AOO from running is the gatekeeper feature which now requires a certificate from Apple to be marked in a white-list in the OS. However, this can be easily worked around in the time being by going into the Applications folder and control click OpenOffice. This will call a menu that will have an Open option. The user must click this option and when the warning dialog appears click OK.
Hope this helps.

Haven't upgraded, my Mac is too old for Mountain Lion.
However, Mountain Lion has a new feature, Gatekeeper.

It has three levels of security options for downloading Apps. For a way to install unsigned
Apps see this article:

It would be best if AOO signed their Apps.
