As the person who made possible for SourceForge to become Apache OpenOffice
official distribution channel, I feel compelled to advance some asks.
1. SourceForge should inform us in advance if infrastructural changes are
on going, so that we can plan in advance a backup plan;
(and to be clear I think we need a backup plan anyway, uptime should be
taken very seriously by a popular project)
2. We understand SourceForge is having issues to let things work, yet we
expect OUR infrastructure to be your top priority
(reason: multiply over 100M downloads for a dozen impressions, it's a
LOT of money, we're special to SourceForge)
Please understand my asks are setting a very low bar. In fact we're not
talking of giving us back - as SourceForge used to do regularly until two
years ago, think of Extensions and Templates continuous improvements - but
we merely talk of providing a download service, something SourceForge
should do right for its own business interests. Fail to comply with these
basic requirements is not acceptable in my opinion.
Best,
Roberto
