I wouldn't make too much fuss over what the mentors did.
Yes this project had a very good pool compared to what most
incubating projects have to deal with, but the public accolades
surrounding the successful release belong to the committers
and the supporting community on this project. Most of our time
as mentors was focusedon social/legal issues,
As I had a small insight into the legal problems (with removing the
category-X licensed code and such; not much fun) this makes the mentors
contribution even more important.
Thank you,

not technical issues.
Just keepingthings moving along was not all that difficult, most
of the time ;-).
You've exceeded our expectations to get to this point so quickly,
and I look forward to reviewing your processes towards graduation.
Good luck!

A big +1.
I'm sure that it's sometimes not that easy to manage all this

Thanks

While we're in the honeymoon period following our successful launch
of
Apache OpenOffice 3.4, I want to give a special SHOUT OUT! to our
mentors.
We wouldn't be here at this point in the project's development
without
your
help and counsel. You agreed to take this podling on as huge and
gnarly as
you knew it would be. OpenOffice is the largest end user-facing
project in
the history of ASF. Nobody blinked. Your support has been stalwart and
steadfast. Lastly, your confidence in us, that we would eventually get
most
of it right, even if we messed up some things, was most appreciated.
It's
been a challenge for you, but I trust you are finding it rewarding as
we
pass this first major milestone of a successful Apache Release, and
look
forward to building the most successful end user productivity software
suite in the history of Apache, for the public good, of course!
Thank You!...and you know who you are, so I'm not naming names. :))
