Edited by Kay Schenk: --------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tasks need to be done to support the distribution of AOO 3.4 once its release is approved. # Start populating the mirrors with the approved AOO 3.4 images. This could take 24 hours or more. So start this in parallel with the other activities. # Submit the AOO URL's and SHA256 hashes to Symantec to "whitelist" us in their anti-virus: [https://submit.symantec.com/whitelist/isv/new/] # Disable the downloads directly from www.openoffice.org. Instead have the download link go to download/index.html (*robweir*, done) # Make a copy of the the older MirrorBrain-enabled download/index.html and download/other.html pages. Put them in a download/legacy directory. Add a disclaimer notice that these are not Apache releases, but legacy releases under a different license. (*marcus*, in progress) # Update download/index.html and download/other.html pages to SourceForge download locations for AOO 3.4. Establish a test period for these new links. Test with various user agent configurations and languages. (*kay*, in progress) # Location for source artifact linked from other.html? # Update install guide if needed. (*kay*, in progress) # Consult with infra regarding the use of the standard "closer.cgi" to access mirrors. Since we are doing mirror site selection via JS, is there a problem with using this? And if so, what do we do instead? (*dave the wave*) # Update branding of download/index.html and download/other.html to "Apache OpenOffice" rather than OpenOffice.org # Check and update license (and other) links on the "new" download page. # Add text to these pages (or a new page linked to from download/index.html and other.html) explaining how to verify the hashes and detached digital signatures. Look at the Apache httpd project's download page for example text. Note: links to the hashes and signatures must go to the Apache /dist copy of these files, not to the mirrors. # Manually update downloads from the Mac porting page and subpages: [http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/] (*marcus*) # Manually update the downloads from the Arabic NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Czech NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the German NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Spanish NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the French NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Hungarian NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Galacian NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Italian NL homepage and subpages (*pescetti*) # Manually update the downloads from the Japanese NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Dutch NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Brazilian NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Russian NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Simplified Chinese NL homepage # Manually update the downloads from the Traditional Chinese NL homepage # After the above have been done, we should pause and confirm that everything is working before going ahead with the announcement. Let's wait for the Release Manager to signal that we're ready to announce. # Then announcements to ooo-announce, ooo-dev, ooo-users, blog, Twitter, Google+, Twitter, etc. # Seed torrents and update P2P websites: [http://www.openoffice.org/distribution/p2p/] Change your notification preferences: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/users/viewnotifications.action
