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 dev <at> infrastructure.openoffice.org
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 ooo-dev-subscribe <at> incubator.apache.org.
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: ooo-dev <at> incubator.apache.org
- And if you ever want to unsubscribe to the new list, you can
do so by sending an email to: ooo-dev-unsubscribe <at> incubator.apache.org
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 ooo-dev <at> incubator.apache.org
(you must be subscribed 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.
