Special Thanks to Andrew Rist

2012-05-09 Thread Rob Weir
As we celebrate the release of Apache OpenOffice 3.4, I want to just
take moment to recognize one project member who has been very busy,
but also very quiet.

The transition from Oracle to Apache did not end with Oracle
submitting an SGA.  That was just the beginning.  From coordinating
domain name transfers, to helping transition the many legacy online
services, to handling administrative requests on legacy servers, to
updating license info in source files, and on and on, including stuff
I probably don't even know about.  Oh, yes, and then he somehow found
time to get the buildbots running.

So thanks, Andrew, for your steady work on transitioning the project
to Apache, and thanks as well to Oracle for making your efforts
possible.

Regards,

-Rob

Note: Andrew was my colleague during my stint at Oracle. I liked working with 
him and appreciated his real interest in OOo, the ODF, and the project. I'm 
grateful he has helped so much to plant the project here.
