Hi Eric, There is an Apache-wide blog aggregator for Committers. Instructions for how to add your blog to the list is here: http://planet.apache.org/ I don't think the AOOo project blog can aggregate other blogs. That reminds me, we should probably look at migrating the Planet OpenOffice.org aggregation as well. I will start a separate thread on this. -Rob > > >> By my calculations it is already tomorrow in Asia, albeit very early. >> But it is a good idea to started with the thread. >> >> Those who can help are encouraged to monitor the list as well as >> #dev.openoffice.org on freenode.
