Please read this note in its entirety. It contains important
information related to this mailing list, its migration to the Apache
Software Foundation, and the steps you must take to ensure continuous
access to the list.
Background
As you may have heard, Oracle contributed the OpenOffice.org (OOo)
code to Apache in June. All new projects at Apache start in the
"Incubator", a special part of Apache where new projects ("Podlings")
and their communities are given special attention by Apache "mentors"
as they learn about Apache, ensure that the source code meets Apache's
license requirements, and work toward their initial Apache release.
In parallel with the coding efforts needed before we can publish
Apache OpenOffice.org 3.4.0, the Apache OpenOffice.org community,
working with the Apache Infrastructure team, is migrating the many
legacy OOo websites and other online services formerly hosted by
Sun/Oracle onto Apache servers. This has been a huge effort and we are
showing good progress in many areas.
You can read more about the current status of the migration effort on
this wiki page:

Resubscribing
Among the services hosted by Oracle on the legacy OOo servers are over
300 mailing lists, including the dev@openoffice.org mailing list you
are reading now. In order to preserve your subscription to the list,
you will need to resubscribe to the new list address, per the
following instructions:
1. Send an email to ooo-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org. This
should be done from the email account where you want to receive the
list messages.
2. This will generate a confirmation email which will be sent to
your email address. You will need to reply to the confirmation email
in order to complete your subscription to the new list.
3. To send posts to the new list, you will mail them to the
following address: ooo-...@incubator.apache.org
4. And if you ever want to unsubscribe to the new list, you can do
so by sending an email to ooo-dev-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org
We invite and encourage you to follow the above steps and to
participate in Apache OpenOffice.org project. If you have any
questions, feel free to post as responses to this note, or send a
question to ooo-...@incubator.apache.org.
Notes
1. We recommend that you do not subscribe via a legacy
openoffice.org email address. It is uncertain at this point whether
these addresses will be supported in the future.
2. Archives of the legacy mailing lists are available here:

3. Archives of the new mailing lists will be available here:
