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:
nice plan, haven't seen this before - but maybe I've just overlooked the
link in previous mails.
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.
Do you mean some more translations or specific things in the English text?
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.
Juergen has done this in the past (IMHO). So, maybe he tell you at least
if it was a slow task.
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.
Right, I've prepared already the main website locally. The localized
websites will come next. I can do the production update in the evening
hours (European time).
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.
To keep the download peak and therefore the load in the first days a bit
lower, IMHO it's better to enable them a bit splitted - e.g., the
Windows builds 1 week after the release, everything else 2 weeks after
the release.
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.
