I posted this on the OOoTnT blog, but I am also posting it here. This was a lot of work for everyone involved... some members of the group spent many many long hours to get the software installed and all configured. We are all pitching in to try and spread the workload. The result is a brand new OOo forum. It's growing fast too. There are new members joining all the time, and the number of posts is increasing very quickly.

Just in case you missed it, the new OpenOffice.org Community forum opened it's virtual doors recently. This announcement was sent out on the ooo-announce mailing list:

The OpenOffice.org Community announces the opening of the OpenOffice.org Community Forum http://user.services.openoffice.org. This new Forum goes beyond being simply a knowledge base of questions and answers and is rather a place for OpenOffice.org users to interact freely with each other.

The Forum has been established by a team of enthusiasts who bring a wealth of expertise gained in providing OpenOffice.org forum-based support. Initially launched in English, the new platform has the capability to support multiple languages in future. Your native-language community can tell you what support is available in your language http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html

This free resource powerfully complements the other user services and support OpenOffice.org offers to individuals, companies, and governments, including those listed on the Support Page, http://support.openoffice.org.

The Community Forum organizers would like to express their gratitude to all those who've made this possible, including:

• The OpenOffice.org Documentation Project http://documentation.openoffice.org/

• The Sun community support group

• The Sun network support staff in Hamburg, Germany

• All their colleagues who have spent an incredible amount of their personal time in setting up this new site

The Forum is available now for all to use and is ready for your participation. Whether you have questions to ask or answers to provide, you are very welcome.

The OpenOffice.org Community

So, please come an join in with everyone, share your knowledge and ask your questions.
