Hi Mechtilde, There are developer snapshots available - if you follow the ML closely they are discussed.
Have a look at this: http://www.raphaelbircher.ch/devsnap.php Raphael has been making significant contributions to AOO since day one. Andrew RIst and others have been working with Gavin from Apache Infra on buildbots for several platforms. Please see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4197 I agree that this information is hard to find. Someone should blog about it and let people know...
