Note: These are public mailing lists and anything posted to these lists is archived and is visible to the public, indexed by search engines, etc. Posts can only be removed in extraordinary circumstances, in accordance with Apache's [Public Forum Archive Policy](http://www.apache.org/foundation/public-archives.html) - [Using Mailing Lists](#using-mailing-lists) - [Participation Guidelines](#participation-guidelines) - [Users Mailing List](#users-mailing-list-public) - [API Mailing List](#api-mailing-list-public) - [Marketing Mailing List](#marketing-mailing-list-public) - [Announce Mailing List](#announce-mailing-list) - [Development Mailing List](#development-mailing-list-public) - [Recruitment Mailing List](#recruitment-mailing-list-public) - [Documentation Mailing List](#documentation-mailing-list-public) - [Quality Assurance (QA) Mailing List](#qa-mailing-list-public) - [Localization Mailing List](#localization-mailing-list-public) - [Commits Mailing List](#commits-mailing-list) - [Issues Mailing List](#issues-mailing-list) - [Native Language (non-English) Mailing Lists](#native-lang-lists) - [Legacy OpenOffice.org Lists](#legacy-openofficeorg-lists) ## Using Mailing Lists A mailing list is a way to share information and coordinate with other project members. When you send an e-mail to a mailing list it is forwarded to all other subscribers to that mailing list. Every OpenOffice mailing list has a list address, of the form: *xyz*@openoffice.apache.org, where you **replace "*xyz*" with the actual list name**, such as "dev" or "qa" or "marketing". ### Basic Operations ### There are three basic operations you should know about: - To *send* an e-mail to the mailing list, and have it forwarded to all other subscribers, send an e-mail to the list's address, *xyz*@openoffice.apache.org. - To *subscribe* to the mailing list, so you start receiving all posts to the mailing list, send an e-mail to *xyz*-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail. Once you respond to the confirmation e-mail you are subscribed. Please keep the initial e-mail you receive from *xyz*-help@openoffice.apache.org as it contains helpful information you may need in the future. - To *unsubscribe* from the mailing list, so you stop receiving all posts to the mailing list, send an e-mail to *xyz*-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail. Once you respond to the confirmation e-mail you are unsubscribed. NOTE: Please do not send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to the mailing list itself (*xyz*@openoffice.apache.org). You must send these requests to the special *xyz*-subscribe and *xyz*-unsubscribe addresses. ### List Moderators ### Each mailing list at OpenOffice has at least two human moderators. If you need additional help with a mailing list in any way including reporting inappropriate behavior, you can e-mail the list moderator at *xyz*-owner@openoffice.apache.org where *xyz* is a list name. Example: qa-owner@openoffice.apache.org. ## Participation Guidelines We ask all mailing list participants to observe [these conduct guidelines][1]. Specifically note the request "Use sensible and concise e-mail subject headings". On our high-traffic lists, especially dev, we encourage the use of e-mail subject tags that indicate the topic of your post. Consistent use of such tags makes it more likely that your post will be read by subscribers most interested in that topic. It also faciliates sorting and filtering by e-mail inbox rules. Some subject tags often seen on dev include: - [www] for posts related to the website - [Repo] for posts related to the source code repository - [download] for posts related to the release download and mirroring infrastruture - [API] for posts related to API specific topics - [EXT] for posts related to Extension specific topics Other useful topic tags can be found by observing traffic on the list or by looking at the list archives. In addition to the topic subject tags, there are also tags used to indicate a request: - [DISCUSS] indicates a rough idea is being floated, and input is welcome - [PROPOSAL] indicates a specific proposal is being made, and often that Lazy Consensus is being sought. - [VOTE] indicates that a formal vote is being called. This is rare. Note: it is common for a topic tag and an action tag to be combined, e.g.: - [PROPOSAL][Repo] Migration of legacy repository to SVN - [DISCUSS][download] What are our options of mirroring legacy releases? Finally, please keep in mind that all of the above mailing lists are public and any post you make will likely be archived by a variety of services. The Apache policy for expunging posts can be found [here](http://www.apache.org/foundation/public-archives.html) but this will only apply to Apache mail archives, not archives from other services such as Gmane or Markmail. ## Users Mailing List (Public) This list is for users, for questions about OpenOffice, for feature requests, for discussions about the product and project, etc. - Subscribe: [users-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][2] - Post (after subscription): [users@openoffice.apache.org][3] - Unsubscribe: [users-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][4] - Apache Archives: [current][47], [legacy][6] - Third-party Archives: [Markmail][5], [Nabble][83], [Mail Archive][71] ## API Mailing List (Public) This list is for application developers and other interested in scripting, macros or developing OpenOffice extensions. - Subscribe: [api-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][42] - Post (after subscription): [api@openoffice.apache.org][43] - Unsubscribe: [api-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][44] - Apache Archives: [current][48], [legacy][46] - Third-party Archives: [Markmail][45], [Mail Archive][72] ## Marketing Mailing List (Public) This is where the community discusses marketing, branding, communications, event planning and related activities. - Subscribe: [marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][7] - Post (after subscription): [marketing@openoffice.apache.org][8] - Unsubscribe: [marketing-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][9] - Apache Archives: [current][49], [legacy][11] - Third-party Archives: [Markmail][10], [Mail Archive][73] ## Announce Mailing List Subscribe to this list to receive notice about new releases and other important news from the project. - Subscribe: [announce-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][12] - Unsubscribe: [announce-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][13] - Apache Archives: [current][50], [legacy][15] - Third-party Archives: [Markmail][14], [Mail Archive][74] **Note:** Only Apache OpenOffice committers may post to the Announce mailing list.
