SB/BadBunny-A, a harmlessMay 26 2007
OpenOffice.org has the security team. If you find ones like the budbunny, please contact our security team and send one to the team.

"SB/BadBunny-A, a harmless little bunny at least until you kick it!" said Mate Temmermann, our security expert, in his blog.

Sure Openoffice.org has a macro language with access to local resources, but "nothing bad can happen to you as long as you don't allow the macros to run." he said.

"Users shouldn't run macros from unknown sources, same like they shouldn't run any programs or other scripts from unknown sources." This is the message he repeats, and we, the OpenOffice.org Community, repeat.

On May 23rd the Community issued comments "About Security, BadBunny, and Macros" based on the information available so far.

Repeat.
"The OpenOffice.org community repeats the consistent message from security experts that users should never accept files from unknown sources. For any security issue, please visit OpenOffice.org's Security Team page."

Thank you.

Congratulations!

I will tell this really good news to my next door neighbor Brazilians. There are many Brazilians in local areas in Japan.

Here is Press Release of BrOo 2.2.
---------------------------
BrOffice 2.2.0 is Available
---------------------------

The announcement of BrOffice.org 2.2.0, the Brazilian version of the OpenOffice.org suite, is also the opportunity for the Brazilian project to rally the international OpenOffice.org project. BrOffice.2.2.0
brings all the evolution of OpenOffice.org (see the changelog), with the locale tools for the Brazilian user.

The major achievement of this version is the code and community merge with the international project. The fork was due to several issues, from differences in the interface and help translations to problems related to packaging and features unique to Brazil. This lead us to develop a paralell project, but nevertheless, BrOffice.org was always managed as a Brazilian extension of OpenOffice.org pr
