Welcome again to all the new volunteers who have joined this list in the recent days. We're going to continue our campaign to recruit more volunteers for a few more days. At that point it will be easier for us to start. Until then as new volunteers join you will see a lot of repetitive posts from me and others, explaining how to subscribe to the list, etc.
A few quick administrative matters and things to do or think about until then: 1) This is a public mailing list. Everything you mail to the list ([email protected]) gets sent to everyone else who subscribes to the list. All posts are also archived You can view and search past discussions here: http://markmail.org/search/+list:org.apache.incubator.ooo-marketing Subscribing/Unsubscribing is self-service. If you want to subscribe you send an email to [email protected]. And if you want to unsusbcribe you must send an email to [email protected]. In both cases this will generate a confirmation message that you will need to respond to. Please don't send a note to the list asking to be unsubscribed. There is nothing I can do. It is self-service. 2) Some basic introductory information is on our website, what we call our new volunteer orientation modules: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/index.html Please don't treat these as prerequisites to participation, or things that you must work on immediately. These pages have useful background information and at some point you will benefit from knowing this material. But pace it out over a month or more if you want if you want. This should not feel like homework. 3) We have a project-wide list of volunteers on our wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Directory+of+Volunteers Please create a wiki account and add an entry for yourself there. Thanks! -Rob
