I've build OOo in the past under Mac OS X and I'm willing to do it=20
again. The only problem I face is that I'm lacking a Mac with=20
enough CPU power and more important free hdd space. My MacMini 1.83=20
Ghz CoreDuo is currently my only Mac and while it is possible to=20
use it for building AOOO it would take away my working machine as=20
well. Once I have my new Mac I'm no longer dependent and hope to=20
use the Mac Mini for AOOo.=20

If however there is remote access to a Mac from the Apache Project=20
I can see if I'm still able to set up a build environment for OOo=20
and build it.=20

Sounds like a good idea to me. If we find a time and date and a Mac=20
I'm willing to attend such a meeting and provide me informations=20
and learn from others.
