After we have a successful vote (hopefully soon), we'll have to start working on the last steps to distribute a release.

They are tracked on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2 but for a short summary:

1) Preparing Release Notes. I've already updated https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2+Release+Notes but it still needs work. I can take care of it.

2) Upload to mirrors. Does anyone know how to copy files to SF, and how long it takes? If it is a lengthy operation I'd rather start it soon. If anyone is available, please step forward.

3) Preparing the website. It's better if our many JS files are updated by someone who is familiar with them, but it looks like this time we won't have structural changes, so a simple change 4.1.1 -> 4.1.2 may suffice, we won't need a lot of testing.

4) Preparing a short press release. Nothing really big, something like https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/announcing_apache_openoffice_4_1 can be OK, or something more elaborate if we manage to put together a few quotes (after all, it has been a while since 4.1.1, so a new release is significant news).

5) Enabling update notifications for 4.1.1. This can come gradually.

If you want a timeline, I think we can aim at Monday for tasks #1 and (pending successful conclusion of the ongoing vote) #2, which means that the release could be as soon as tasks #3 and #4 are done, so one of Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday night European time.

Regards,
  Andrea.
