Sorry, but I'd have to disagree...
http://openoffice.org/terms_of_use
The resources are owned and operated by Oracle.

Whilst http://user.services.openoffice.org may (currently) tolerate LO
posts, certainly LO/TDF should prefer to not continue to send
users/prospective users to OOo properties for support and answers
regarding LO. Doing so is akin to having OOo send users/prospective
users to the LO users list for support.
