This page describes stuff relating to office-related ports in the tree.
Feel free to connect and ask questions or discuss a future of office ports on FreeBSD.
OpenOffice is a Top Level Project at the Apache Software Foundation.
The editors/openoffice-4 port carries the latest stable release. editors/openoffice-devel with upstream's trunk is also available.
Building with the native clang on X86 required some tweaking but is now fully supported. Java is required so currently openoffice-devel only supports AMD64, i386, (clang and GCC) and PPC, PPC64 (only GCC) on FreeBSD. Initial support for FreeBSD/ARM32 is available but is untested and may need clang-related adjustments.
The ever-lasting battle to keep this up to date continues. ARM64 (which AOO has no plans for) would be an interesting target.
Send patches to office@.

All possible dictionaries, thesaurus and hyphenation are being added to the ports tree to allow LibreOffice, OpenOffice and every potential hunspell aware application to share the same resources.
