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.
I'm now done with describing the main content of the release at the URL above. Edits by Keith or other native speakers or anyone else are clearly welcome. This is the version to be used for translations. I'll now send a note to the l10n list.
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.
This is our next step. Marcus, did you take care of this for 4.1.1? I have no idea how to do this, but it is important to start populating SourceForge, since I expect it may take 24-48 hours. RC3 is the version to be copied: declaring the vote successful is, in this respect, a technicality that I will take care of. Packages are at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/ (this is an svn URL, not only a web URL), but if it is handier to grab them from elsewhere I have copies on a few servers (all with verifiable checksums of course). Just ask in case.
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.
Now that I recall, Marcus wrote that the best moment is in the evening (Europe time), right? Depending on step 2 above, this can be scheduled for any of the next evenings.
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).
This is probably just a proof-read/enhanced copy of https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2+Release+Notes plus a quote by Dennis as Chair and by one of the new developers.
5) Enabling update notifications for 4.1.1. This can come gradually.
For the record, the resource that needs to be updated is http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/updates-site/trunk/ and it can be done on a per-language, per-version basis; so I don't expect to enable it immediately for all users.
