I don't see any need for concern for OpenOffice. The way I see it, the combo of OpenOffice and AJAXy office apps like Writely will only weaken Office's domination. OpenOffice is what you use when you want to take your work offline and require a more robust app. Writely is what you use when you're mobile and or don't have ready access to your own computer.

I write documents on Writely, save them on their server, and then save them offline in ODT format to load up on OpenOffice. I have absolutely no need for Microsoft Office -- haven't used it in years. And I use these office applications regularly for my line of work.
