[RELEASE]: release schedule/preparation and start voting for AOO
3.4.1 repin
Hi,
our plan was to release AOO 3.4.1 on Jan. 24th. I think I have forgot to
start the necessary vote in time and plan to do this tomorrow now.
According to this plan think of the following release plan to vote, make
the bits available, prepare announcements, prepare the download page
(update for new languages), ...
1. start vote on Jan 23th and inform infra about the planned release
2. provide the bits after the final vote on Jan. 26th, I will do that late
on Saturday becasue I am traveling to he US
3. inform infra and SourceForge about the release and wait at least 24
hours for synchronizing the mirrors, I would say until Tuesday (Tuesday is
always a good day for an announcement)
4. in the meantime prepare an announcement and have it in place for
Tuesday, Jan 29th
5. the same for the adapted download page
6. put the changes live and fire up the announcement, share the news via
all channels
7. adapt the update mechansim to support the new languages
8. start counting the downloads ....
9. being proud of a further release and thank our translation volunteers
10. continue towards AOO 4.0
11. invite further translation volunteers, QA and developers to join AOO
and make 4.0 a further success and available in more languages
Ok 10. and 11. will have some time and a lot of work is in front of us but
it will happen ;-)
Sorry that I forgot the vote in time and we have to postpone the release
until next week.
Juergen

I volunteer to work with interested volunteers on the L10n list to
prepare an announcement draft. I'll send the link to the Dev list
when we have something ready for review.
Also:
4 1/2: Update the NL homepages for the new languages that we are
supporting, to provide correct links, etc.

I have prepared a new workdir (/x1/aoo_workdir) on translate-vm, which I
hope you will use instead of your home dir. Reason is that infra does not
make backups of homedirs (I think the po files etc. you have needs backup
)and this dir is common to for all aoo work.
Please tell me, when you consider the DB for frozen for 3.4.1, then I will
make an a manual dump (backup is NOT in place at the moment).
Have a nice trip to the US.

exactly and that is the intended behaviour. I would assume that users of the Hungarian version have already installed a dictionary manually and don't need it.
Oliver will help to update what's necessary to support the new languages. But he is sick this week.

This should be automatic. If I recall correctly, the update mechanism
just returns an XML file (do we have it somewhere in SVN?) with a list
of languages, platforms, latest version for that language+platform, and
URL to download it.
So, provided that the XML file is not modified, it will still return
that the latest version available for Hungarian on, say, Windows, is
3.4.1, which means that existing 3.4.1 installations will believe they
are up-to-date (they actually are!) and won't notify the user that newer
versions are available.
Regards,
Andrea.

If we have new translations then we have new contributions, content
that is part of the product, that we need to license. Maybe this is
just PO files? Maybe it is the resource bundles that the PO files are
converted into?
Since the "convenience binaries" must be based on released source, I
think we need to release (and vote on) the new source as well.

OK, I'll make them available in test area as soon as I can see the
packages online - maybe already on Sunday.

It might be nice to able to do a "live" test once the packs are at
SourceForge -- I can't tell by this when that might be -- late Sun?
So, I would suggest uploading revisions to /download/test just to make
sure.

@Kay, all:
Any need to test the additions in a test area? I've just changed the 8
new languages in "languages.js" to be available ("n" ---> "y"), added
download links to the "other.html" and also for the checksums webpage.
