Hello, We at the Cybernet-LUMS mirror (mirror-cybernet.lums.edu.pk) have been mirroring both the projects (Apache and OpenOffice.org) for about 2 years now. Considering this, this transition should not have any substantial changes in bandwidth/storage usage etc. on our side. But we have two questions:
1) Will the openoffice.org download servers completely shutdown (and as result do we have "remove" openoffice.org as a separate project)? 2) What will be the fate of versions that were released before the migration? - Cybernet-LUMS Mirror Team On Sat, Mar 24, 2012 at 10:19 AM, drew jensen <drewjensen.in...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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.
