Thanks for the input Drew.  FWIW the Infrastructure Team abides
by the same rules as any other project at Apache- volunteers are
always welcome, and the more you do (well) the more "karma" you
will gain within Infrastructure.


It would be great if people who have root access to any of the existing
OOo machines (who don't work for Oracle, since we expect them to bow
out eventually) to start following infrastructure@apache.org and expect
to be called on to help support the migration and eventual upkeep of
everything currently residing on OOo.  Even if you don't have root@
but think you're up to the task, we'll try to give you "just enough rope"
not to hang yourself as you get started.
