3.3 Review
- Marcus reported that since the OOo 3.3 release from January, 26th we now have 29 languages with released files.
- Rafaella explained the detailed plan how to go on with the remaining files:
- NL teams that haven't released install builds will be included in the automatic process.
- NL teams that have released all or partly builds will be left-out.
- A separate Wiki page with more information will be created and linked on the download webpage.
3.4 Status
- The branch off date for OOo 3.4 was originally scheduled for today but as the release criteria aren't fulfilled yet the branch off had to be deferred until March 7th.
- Therefore we will release a Alpha version which is planned with developer snapshot DEV300m101 next week.
- Milestone DEV300m101 or DEV300m102 (depends on RE and amount of conflicts) will be the last with feature integrations, after this the branch off will take place.
Other items
- None

3.3 Status
- Marcus reported that since the OOo 3.3 release from January, 26th we have 24 languages with 278 files in "released" status, tomorrow additionally Vietnamese with 14 files.
- Compared with the 3.2.1 release (29 languages with 294 files) this is again a satisfying release.
- Deadline for further releases from the the NLC is February, 10th.
- However, there are still ~700 files in RC status, how to get the remaining files released as stable for download?
- Rafaella suggests to test the files automatically if the builds install.
- As there was a general agreement in the chat, she will post a proposal on the l10n and qa mailing lists.
