Hi, first of all I am volunteering to act as release manager for 3.4.1 as well if our community think it's a good idea. Independent of the release manager I would like to propose the following time schedule and content for a 3.4.1. Content ======= - we will support further languages where we have volunteers working on translation and where we have ideally 100% UI coverage. I think we should focus and balance the support of new languages on demand and completeness. Right now we have Finnish and British English with an updated 100% UI translation. We can also think about language packs only. - we will include important and critical bug fixes or necessary changes. Bugs/tasks have to be proposed and discussed on the ooo-dev mailing list and the issue should be marked with the "3.4.1_release_blocker" flag, concrete the "?" value. - we will include potential security fixes Feature development and less important bugfixes should happen on the trunk and will be included in the next major/minor release (3.5, 3.6, 4.0, ...). The micro release should include minimal functional changes only. Time schedule ============= - starting first week of June weekly developer snapshots - June 30, potential translation have to be ready to get included - July 25, providing RC and start voting - July 31, planned release QA should we continuously do on the dev builds. Opinions, comments are welcome and appreciated.
As we have seen how much work it is and how much time is cost to prepare an RC and a release, it is good that we thought about our next release as early as possible. Quoting Sepp Herberger (former German national soccer coach): "After the game is before the game."
In this sense I encourage everybody to think about 3.4.1 and if possible start working on it.
Thx in advance. Best regards, Oliver.
