+1. Thanks for bring it out...it looks like a good plan! I agree that the
focus of 3.4.1 is translation and critical bug fix only...And we should
have separate discussion on 3.5 development.
My only comment is that, it could be too aggressive to leave only one week
for both RC voting and publish...maybe two weeks are better?
maybe but I thought that we will do the main work before on the dev
builds and voting takes normally 72 hours. But you are probably correct
when we take into account that we need PPMC and IPMC vote.
We can adapt it on demand and can start the RC 3 days earlier.

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.
Juergen
