Oracle blogs on OOo being contributed?

I'm wondering whether the Oracle owned blogs on OOo will be contributed 
to the Apache project too? E.g. having the instructions for converting a 
module to the gbuild systems would be good.

The "gullfoss" blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/) gets a 404 
nowadays, but google still finds them with
http://www.google.de/search?q=gullfoss+openoffice+blog

Best regards,

That's a pity - GullFOSS really should stay available as an archive.

I will try to find someone at Oracle who can help with this...

I blogged during the changes at Oracle when the takeover was finalized
http://danesecooper.blogs.com/divablog/2010/01/assimilation-beginsoracle-censors-blogssuncom.html
and Oracle posted their rules at
http://blogs.oracle.com/otn/entry/the_oracle_social_media_partic

Hope this helps.  If not, ASF will probably have to ask for permission
from Oracle.

What about posts authored after the acquisition? If somebody with an
@oracle.com email could make a qualified statement about that, I could
upload my blog posts (of which I still have some feable webcache copy)
about the build system to a wiki under a permissive license, if anybody
still cares.

What about posts authored after the acquisition? If somebody with an
@oracle.com email could make a qualified statement about that, I could
upload my blog posts (of which I still have some feable webcache copy)
about the build system to a wiki under a permissive license, if anybody

According to the rules we had in place at Sun, all posts authored before Sun
was acquired are owned jointly by their author and Sun/Oracle, so as long as
the author agrees the content can be reposted elsewhere.
