Juergen posted a note to the dev list proposing that the project vote on the new release and aim to publicly release it next Tuesday (a week from today).
I volunteered to help coordinate the announcement blog post. Here is one idea of what we could do: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apache OpenOffice now available in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean, Polish, Basque, Asturian and Scottish Gaelic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Apache OpenOffice project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 in 8 new translations: Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean, Polish, Basque, Asturian and Scottish Gaelic. The [award winning] Apache OpenOffice 3.4 product, [downloaded over 33 million times], already supports US English, German, Japanese, Czech, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Gallician, Arabic, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Khmer, Finnish, British English, Slovenian, Slovak languages. Users can download the new translations [from our website]. Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 is available on Windows, MacOS and Linux. The [Release Notes] contain important information for those upgrading from earlier versions. Warm thanks and applause go to the many translators who worked on these translations. With your help we can support even more languages in our next release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0. Anyone interested in volunteering is encouraged to [consult our webpage] for information on how to get involved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: The text I have put [in square brackets] will become hyperlinks. So when translating, please keep this in mind. If possible I'd love for the blog post to contain 8 translations of this short announcement. Of course, I need everyone's help to do this. Also, I'd like translations of a short announcement, suitable for Twitter, Facebook, etc. So a translation of: "The free office suite Apache OpenOffice now available in XXX" where XXX is your language. Thanks! -Rob
