Done. For some reason I was convinced that that will only change the redirected address, not the one used for log-in. Many thanks!

Dear user,
Due to the move of the OOo project from Oracle to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the mail address name@openoffice.org will be shut down by the end of the year or maybe even before.
For further information, see: http://markmail.org/message/5l5xxbb7cdkkqgay
As a consequence, you should change your current forum account information and provide another valid mail address.
Sorry for this inconvenience.
Best regards
...
Edit: Done on Nov. 18. |

I'm talking about the forum database. Don't tell me that no admin can extract the list of the accounts and then keep only the ones with an ooo mail address.

If no objection to the content, I'll send it by the end of next week.
Concerning the other points:
1. Forum administration is not impacted AFAIK (except for some admins mail address but they will be notified as mentioned above and we also have the personal mail in their case).
2. Covered above.
3. ID breakage is an issue with the main OOo site, no link with the forum.
Forum is indeed a good place to propagate such news but it should be posted by someone having a clear "ASF hat" (i.e. either an Apache observer or a PPMC).
My opinion about that: we set up this forum to help users having troubles using OOo. I don't really want the forum to become a second blog. We can add a link to the incubator blog but I'm not sure it is the role of the Volunteers to do the work of the ASF when it comes to do the "marketing".

Edit: I had also been thinking that when it is determined what the Apache product name will be, that it should belong in the "User community support forum for ..." summary in the top banner. Not sure AOO will fancy that, but it seems like a fair notion to me. It may also be that what I am thinking of in providing outward-facing project information might be best on the Wiki. Thoughts? |

For Dennis' benefit, I would point out that we never had that sort of relationship with Sun or Oracle.
Clayton hung out here and tried to coordinate where appropriate, but it was all un-official.
I was wondering if we couldn't have a special forum where ASF announcements were posted, either by manual copy/paste, or some automated email->forum script similar to the admin script Terry worked up.
BTW, do we have a plan for changing that email address? It's also @openoffice.org; is it also affected?
I don't know what email address is being referred to.

On the Spanish forums, only six persons are registered with an @openoffice.org address, five of then have zero posts, the other already know of the change because active on the mailing lists.
I did an announcement on the "General discussion" forum some days ago but I'll send a PM to those users today.

forumadminen@openoffice.org
It's not a forwarded address (as far as I know) so it may not be affected. I assume @ooo will continue to be used, or does everything switch to an apache domain?
