Rob, You have more information than I do on the subject (having never figured out how to access the ooo-dev subscriber list).
My impression is that most of those I am proposing to contact have not made an appearance on the ooo-dev list. I think there have been a post or two by a couple of them. This effort is mainly to ensure that they are not out of communication through any oversight on our part. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 11:31 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] <Initial Committer>: Apache OpenOffice.org Initial Committer Status On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 11:10 PM, Dennis E.
