Please read this note in its entirety. It contains
important information related to this mailing list, its
migration to the Apache Software Foundation, and the steps
you must take to ensure continuous access to the list.
Background
As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the
OpenOffice.org (OOo) code to Apache in June. All new
projects at Apache start 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.
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. This has been a huge effort
and we are showing good progress in many areas.
You can read more about the current status of the migration
effort on this wiki page:

Additional relevant information is published in our project
blog at: http://blogs.apache.org/OOO/
Resubscribing
Among the services hosted by Oracle on the legacy OOo
servers are over 300 mailing lists, including the mailing
list you are reading now. In order to participate in Apache
OpenOffice.org through a relevant mailing list, you will
need to resubscribe to a new list address, per the following
instructions:
- Send an email to [email protected] .
This should be done from the email account where you want
to receive the list messages.
- This will generate a confirmation email which will be
sent to your email address. You will need to reply to the
confirmation email in order to complete your subscription
to the new list.
- To send posts to the new list, you will mail them to the
following address: [email protected]
- And if you ever want to unsubscribe to the new list, you
can do so by sending an email to: [email protected]
We invite and encourage you to follow the above steps and
to participate in Apache OpenOffice.org project. If you have
any questions, feel free to post as responses to this note,
or send a question to [email protected]
(you must be subscribed to the ooo-dev list to post a
question).
Notes
- We recommend that you do not subscribe via a legacy
openoffice.org email address. It is uncertain at this
point whether these addresses will be supported in the
future.
- Archives of the legacy mailing lists are available
here: http://openoffice.markmail.org/
- Archives of the new mailing lists and other relevant
information can be found at: Apache
OpenOffice.org mail list information .
- If you prefer to access the list via Gmane, please post
a request on the new list and we will try to accommodate
you.
