Howdy all, Please take a moment to review the draft of a contact email for direct mailing to the OO.o mirror operators. ------------------------------------ Dear OpenOffice.org Mirror Operator, On behalf of all the members of the OpenOffice.org community I would like to extend a warm thank you for the services rendered to the project while participating in the download mirror system. As you likely are aware, the OpenOffice.org project has during the last year migrated to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and taken the new name of Apache OpenOffice. Thanks to the efforts of numerous individuals contributing to the project I am pleased to say that the first full release of the Apache OpenOffice free open source (FOSS) office suite is nearing completion. The project is now looking for organizations that will again work with us to deliver this important linchpin of the FOSS ecosystem to literally millions of users worldwide. Specifically the project is looking for mirror operators to work within, and augment, the existing ASF server mirror system. Details regarding the ASF mirror system are available here: http://www.apache.org/info/how-to-mirror.html Please contact our project with any questions you may have via our public mailing list at ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org. In closing, please accept my thanks in advance for your time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that our projects can once again work together to advance the cause of Free Open Source Software around the globe. Sincerely, Drew Jensen Apache OpenOffice (incubating) Poddling Project Management Committee atjen...@apache.org ------------------------------------ Comments, fixes and the like are very much appreciated. Given the current state of work I would like to get this out tonight if at all possible. Thanks //drew
