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:

Resubscribing
Among the services hosted by Oracle on the legacy OOo servers are over
300 mailing lists, including the [email protected]
mailing list you are reading now. In order to preserve your
subscription to the list, you will need to resubscribe to the new list
address, per the following instructions:
1. Send an email to [email protected]. This should
be done from the email account where you want to receive the list
messages.
2. 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.
3. To send posts to the new list, you will mail them to the following
address: [email protected]
4. 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].
Notes
1. 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.
