Read what Rich wrote more carefully. It leterally does not come up often in that context. I got involved with OpenOffice once it came to the Incubator. I've put many many unpaid hours on the project. Mostly by supporting the websites and forum installations, but also by catherding on security.

BTW - You can get help on LibreOffice on the OpenOffice Fora. Those people are there to help people.

I've made $0 on twelve years of work. I am currently the VP, OpenOffice (we rotate because it's a governance role).

If you interested in helping then the type of developer needed is someone who understands old C++ and has a passion to modernize that.

Most of the 14 minor releases since 2014 have addressed security including 4.1.14 this past February. See https://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html

For instructions on how you can report an actual security issue: https://openoffice.apache.org/security

We do wish to know about security problems. We are an all volunteer project. AFAIK No one is paid anything to work on Apache OpenOffice
