In case you missed it on the other thread, we heard from Andrew that
the remaining Oracle servers that supported the legacy OOo project
will be shut down starting on March 15th. This includes the mailing
list and the mail forwarder.
We dealt with the mailing lists before, sending notes to the active
ones that the project had moved over to Apache and gave them the new
addresses. I subscribe to many of these lists and they have been
silent for months. I moderate one and it is all spam, and has been
for months. If you are seeing any openoffice.org list that still has
real traffic on it, then please speak up. We need to identify any
active remaining lists and send them the information here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Email+Migration+Post
At the same time we need to notify users that the openoffice.org email
forwarding service is being retired as of March 15th. I had already
drafted a note for this, and it was previously reviewed. I've just
updated it to put in the actual shutdown date:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/%28Draft%29+Public+Statement+on+Email+Forwarding
If there are no objections, my plan is to:
1) Move that wiki page into a blog post, clean up for formatting and publish it
The blog post is out:
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/retirement_of_openoffice_org_email
Also on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/rcweir/statuses/175664277552766977
And Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110021943609888508798/posts/WnwA84zDZiJ
2) On Monday morning send a note out to ooo-announce, referring to
that blog post for details.
I'm holding off until Monday for the ooo-announce post. It is more
likely to be read if sent out on a Monday than a Friday.
Are there any other places we should post this information to?
Legacy dev/user/discuss lists? phpBB Forums? Any NLC's? If anyone
can help broadening the reach of this information, it would help avoid
surprises when March 15th comes.
I have informed [email protected], [email protected],
[email protected], [email protected],
[email protected], and [email protected]
