Perhaps the register landing page should point to a page with this
information.
(and maybe a plug for AOO and the Apache Way, etc.)

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the report on the registration page. This outage is
intentional. We are no longer doing user registration with
OpenOffice.org. Our next release will remove this option so you do
not get that error message.
The closes thing to "registration" we have is a mailing list that
users can sign up for to receive updates from the project,such as
announcements of new releases. If you want to subscribe to this
list, send an email to: [email protected].
Regards,
-Rob

Hello,
The registration link for OpenOffice brings up an error page. Here's the link
and error message:
https://registration2.services.openoffice.org/RegistrationWeb/register/urn:st:e7251802-3c52-4e08-a74f-a22eca7458ff?product=OpenOffice.org&locale=en&cid=926117
This webpage is not availableThe server at registration2.services.openoffice.org can't be found, because
the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address.
This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can
also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the
network.Here are some suggestions:Reload this webpage later.Check your Internet connection. Restart any
router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.Check your DNS settings. Contact your network
administrator if you're not sure what this means.Try disabling network prediction by following these steps:
Go to the wrench menu> Preferences> Under the Hood and deselect "Predict network actions to
improve page load performance." If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend selecting this option
again for improved performance.Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus
software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted
programs and adding it again.If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network
administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy
server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to Applications> System Preferences> Network>
Advanced> Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected.Error 105
(net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.Please let me know where I can go
to register my product.Thanks,Tobias
