I'm done with the first new volunteer orientation module, and now I'm
starting the second one:  How the Apache OpenOffice Project Works.

There are no reports on the issue that it has been tested by anyone
else. Given the nature of the patch, I think it needs review by the
API folks, who I've copied on this reply. Hopefully, a conclusion on
this can be had soon. Thank you for your help in resolving this problem.

Re: 64 bit Linux builds for 4.1.2

The release files are nearly complete. Only the Linux 64 bit DEB full
install files are missing. The langpacks are there.


I confirmed I checked myself, and all languages are there: it is just a 
matter of comparing svn ls 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-rc1-r1705606/binaries 
to 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.1/binaries/



@Andrea: From where do they come? It is possible to deliver them also?


Not now, sorry. Upload was broken in one of the preliminary steps. The 
current binaries were committed from people.apache.org but the copy we 
have there already misses those files. So it will take a few days to 
recover the Linux 64-bit DEB (full installs) but it is time to start 
testing the other 11 available variants.


The headline of http://www.openoffice.org/ can already be pointed at 
https://blogs.apache.org/ooo/ (since we agreed we would do it as soon as 
test builds were available).


I'm now going to send a message to the dev and QA lists with some 
further details.


Regards,
  Andrea.

OpenOffice 4.1.2-RC1 available for testing

2015-10-03 Thread Andrea Pescetti
We have the first Release Candidate of OpenOffice 4.1.2 available for 
testing. So it's time to get serious with tests. We'll run tests for at 
least a full week as agreed.


Note: we will not vote on this Release Candidate. But it should be 
widely used for tests. Volunteers are recommended to install it and 
check both common usage and the specific bugfixes.


Builds are available at
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-rc1-r1705606/binaries/

Once you choose the language, the filename should be rather clear. The 
English version for Windows, for example, is at

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-rc1-r1705606/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe

How to help: use this link provided by Kay (you may need a Bugzilla 
account; just ask in case)


https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem=run=4.1.2_approved_and_fixed_id=7

and you will find a list of fixes. Pick one that is set as "RESOLVED 
FIXED". Verify (with the RC1) that the bug is indeed fixed, and mark it 
as VERIFIED. Ask on the list (dev or qa, depending on where you see 
this; qa preferred) if you need assistance.


Known issue: Linux 64-bit builds in DEB format are missing. We will 
recover them as soon as possible. On the other hand, this week's 
optimizations will allow much faster and direct uploads in future.


Special thanks go to Juergen and Herbert for assistance and guidance, 
and to Infra for a lot of technical help.


Regards,
  Andrea.
