Hi,
On the top chart each "hump" is one week, with peaks midweek and lower volume on the weekend. As you can see, we've had a significant increase in volume this last week, as we gradually rolled out the upgrade notifications. Daily volume had been 90-110K before. Now it is 170-190K/day.
so it's about the half we had with OOo. Not a bad number.
The upgrade strategy was to do this in three stages: 1. Roll out update notifications to OOo 3.3 installs for the 15 languages we support in AOO 3.4 2. Roll out notifications to the remaining OOo 3.3 installs 3. Roll out notifications to OOo 3.2 installs So far, we've done this first step.
and this is a great effort. In the past we had a web service (using a database) that coordinated the update rollout for each version number/build id. Maybe it's a good idea to create a similar service just to please the admin who has to service flags for each version and localization. I know this work can be pain in the a** and every automation pleased me when I did this at Sun and at Oracle.
This was a team effort, with volunteers involved in reverse engineering the upgrade XML formats, preparing the XML for the downloads, ensuring sufficient bandwidth capacity, redirecting URL's, etc. So thanks, everyone, for the great success here!
+1 Kind regards, Joost
