<p><b>Background</b><br class=3D"atl-forced-newline">
</p>
<p>As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org
(OOo) code to Apache in June.=C2=A0All new projects at Apache sta=
rt
in the "Incubator", a special part of Apache where new projects
("Podlings") and their communities are given special attention
by Apache "mentors" as they learn about Apache, ensure that the
source code meets Apache's license requirements, and work toward
their initial Apache release.<br class=3D"atl-forced-newline">
</p>
<p>In parallel with the coding efforts needed before we can
publish Apache OpenOffice.org 3.4.0, the Apache OpenOffice.org
community, working with the Apache Infrastructure team, is
migrating the many legacy OOo websites and other online services
formerly hosted by Sun/Oracle onto Apache servers.=C2=A0This has =
been
a huge effort and we are showing good progress in many areas.=C2=A0=
<br
class=3D"atl-forced-newline">
</p>
<p>You can read more about the current status of the migration
effort on this wiki page:=C2=A0<br>
