LibreOffice mail accounts
Back in the days of OpenOffice.org, contributors to the project were entitled to get an @openoffice.org e-mail address they could use for their project-related work. With LibreOffice, at the moment only official spokespersons and members of the BoD and MC have a @documentfoundation.org e-mail address.
We at TDF strongly believe in contributors identifying themselves with the work they do, with the community they’re engaged in, and with the software they develop, translate, document, market, provide infrastructure for and give users support for. Having an e-mail address that reflects their affiliation not only helps in making the community and the program better known, but also shows our apprecation and admiration for everyone contributing to their success.
I’m thus delighted to announce that, within the next weeks, we will be starting to provide @libreoffice.org e-mail addresses. They will not be only forwarders, but thanks to a generous sponsor, we will be able to offer IMAP mailboxes with 500 MB storage for free to everyone who is a Member of The Document Foundation. We’ll communicate more details directly to Members.
WOW, by the way, who is the sponsor?
I just want to download the freaking programme ONCE. Thirty downloads to install it is so much like work I’ll go elsewhere. Thanks but no-thanks. What happened to the simple rolled up installer for the entire office suite? I used to recommend you to people, but if you’re going to make it a major project just to install it, I’ll recommend someone else.
Don’t bother replying. If I can’t find the simplle installer by looking at the page, I don’t want to see what lovely bugs I have to put up with.
Any news about this? They might be needed rather soon…
They will be available rather soon. Technically, they work already, but we need to write a policy as required by law, but then, we will offer these addresses to members.
It seems to be much harder than getting an openoffice.org mail account. Any plans to offer it to a larger scale?
