Kay,
Can you supply an update to whatever is going on on this wiki page?
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Community+Forums
This page looks like an technical overview of running the forum. I am
not sure a status information would fit there. Anyway, here is some
more info, fell free to add it whereever you want it.
The issue Terry refers to has been closed and the response is confusing to
me, but perhaps it makes sense to someone else.
...
I, for one, would really like to get an idea of what's going on with this.
Not sure which issue you mean. Are speaking of "4) Work on the
rebranding and other content changes to comply with agreed project
requirements"
no...Terry filed an actual JIRA issue on setting this up...
see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3888
but it is now "closed"
If yes, this is not solved yet.
Basically the forums are property of the forum volunteers (which are
the maintainers of the board). They are running the board for years
similar to the ASF. Now there was a lots of discussion what they need
to change, like for example: who will be a committer, who will be
PMCs. On the other hand of course the ooo-pmc would get hands on the
forum - it seems forum people are very nervous about this, because
they feel treated very badly from ooo-dev.
That being said, there was much discussion on the forum itself, and
there is still no decision. While the english board is roundabout
60% are for a move, at the spanish speakers board nobody wants to move
to the ASF.
It is is still a confusing situation, and we finally started a draft
of the necessary changes:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Changes+integrate+the+forums+into+the+AOOo+project
but as you can see, it is incomplete and not yet voteable. Some more
work is required. The offline time of the boards does not help, of
course :(
Hope I have expressed everything very well.
ok, thanks for this. I obviously did not see this wiki page.
Cheers
Christian
Thanks.

Wasn't there going to be a proposal from the Forum community regarding
moving the Forums to Apache Infrastructure?
I recall activity on the the CWiki about it, but nothing has happened
here to move the process forward.
The proposal is still in progress. There is still no agreement on if
it actually will happen.
Cheers,
Christian
Regards,

The forums not reachable, at least to me, on address

Somebody knows why?
Not reachable here either, Zoltan, for at least the last 36 hours. A
posting on oooforum.org notes that the site is down, but gives no reason
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=131317
I noticed it too, and I'm an admin at the Dutch nl forum. But I'm as
ignorant about what's going on as everybody else. :=(
You are right in that no one knows
- you really should be following the user mailing list [the new one not
the old one], this was the only topic talked about on the list
yesterday ... then again, it's not like the list is actually getting any
use otherwise anyway - but still.
So, I've been up since 4 AM, my time, hoping to hear something and now
it's 11:30 Hamburg time - still nothing - I did just get an email (an
hour ago now) from Terry so everyone is waiting to pounce, but as of 5
minutes ago still unable to connect to the server in any way at all.
