If you have the PDF you could put it on your people.apache.org directory. All committers have this ability. You need to use scp to get the file uploaded. You can create a public_html directory and put the PDF there. See: http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#personal-web-space That would make the info public. If the information is confidential, then you can share it with the PMC by checking it into: https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/pmc/incubator/ooo (assuming it has not moved yet) Regards, -Rob > Peter > > >> >> -Rob >> >> >>> Peter >>> >>> >>>> >>>> -Rob >>>> >>>>> Peter >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> -Rob >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>> Please, do not send one request for permission per every screen shot. >>>>>>> Just >>>>>>> contact this list (ooo-...@incubator.apache.org) and describe your >>>>>>> concern >>>>>>> in general.
