Coordinating tasks and volunteers for NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release

Related trinity thread: Translating 1.1 Announcement & Release Coordination

We'll "archive" this page (as 1.1 Release Tasks or something) when it's time for the next big release and create a "new" Release Tasks page based on this template (i.e., remove all the <strike> stuff and assorted notes and commentary) for that release.

Contents 1 Wiki things 2 NeoOffice.org 2.1 trinity.neooffice.org 3 neowiki.sixthcrusade.com 4 OpenOffice.org 5 Listings 6 Announcement 7 Actual Press

Wiki things

• Finish the Press Kit
• Multilingual screenshot

  sardisson

• NOEDITSECTION, NOTOC on Press Kit and Announcement after complete
• Update Release Notes (esp new features) for 1.1, move 1.1 RC relnotes to their page (see Talk:NeoOffice/J Release Notes for plan)

  Distill "what's new since RC" for VT, MU, Apple, etc., from this

• Fix dates/versions in the following: NeoOffice/J ("even though its only in beta phase"), History of NeoOffice and OpenOffice.org: NeoOffice
• Version announcement on Main Page; link to NeoOffice/J 1.1 Announcement (and NeoOffice/J Press Kit) in that version line...
• Lock key pages:
  • Main Page
  • NeoOffice Screenshots
  • NeoOffice/J 1.1 Announcement
  • NeoOffice/J Press Kit
  • NeoOffice/J Release Notes??

  Sunday night PDT? (if people start sending out releases on Mon?) (sardisson)

  Turned out to be Sun night-Mon-Tues AM because of spam and scheduling

• Take CD distribution page live at some point; get Ed to approve...

NeoOffice.org

• New text on front page

  ?

Um, the date is wrong. It should be the 22nd, not today.

trinity.neooffice.org

• Need a 1.1 release story

  ?

neowiki.sixthcrusade.com

:

* Please replace the ship logo with one that has a transparent background. This one looks ugly over the mediawiki book background. Just select the PNG white area in Photoshop and press backspace (or something). -Ovvldc 07:35, 20 Jun 2005 (CDT)

• Xslf has also complained about that recently, as have I in the past (the current version is a JPG, not a PNG at all). I have uploaded a version of the ship logo that is only 26K (as opposed to the 40K it was in the past. Please use that one, Jake. --sardisson 15:34, 20 Jun 2005 (CDT)

  --Jake promised to do this tonight, when he gets back from birthdaying. Felix natailis tibi, Jake! (And thanks!) --sardisson 19:19, 21 Jun 2005 (CDT)

• Three cheers for Jake! We now have a transparent PNG as the NeoWiki logo!
  What's the position on favicons? Bad? Good? Who-cares? I have a nice little ship-in-globe favicon-sized PNG we can use as neowiki's favicon, if you want. See the NeoWiki "mirror" for a real-life test.

OpenOffice.org

• Update at least the downloads page

• Send announcement to Louis???

Listings

• Freshmeat (also update from "beta" to "stable" in the categories)
• VT (also "Tiger Ready")
• MU
• Apple Downloads (need a "what's new since RC" list for this)
• Submit to Macintosh Products Guide

New screenshot for all

sardisson, Tues night PDT

VT & MU jumped the gun and announced when Patrick uploaded new versions of planamesa/neojava

Announcement

Submit the announcement to media outlets and man the Community Relations Gmail account for follow-up

sites with "form" or "email" after them have contact info already in emails in the Community Relations account

• Determine timing of announcement submission (Mon/Tues as able?)

• EN/EN_US
  • MacAddict: Submissions for inclusion on CD here and editorial and release announcements go here
  • MacHome Write to Executive Editor
  • Macintouch: http://www.macintouch.com/email.html [form]
  • MacCentral/Macworld: Jim Dalrymple
  • MacNN: http://www.macnn.com/?guidelines=true [form]
  • MacReviewZone Write to David Engstrom
  • MacSurfer: S. Siegling & D. Mahaffy - they just do headlines, so send link to trinity story on Weds AM; listed the MacNN story
  • MacTech Submit copy to Editorial
  • MacMinute [mailto: news@macminute.com]
  • MacObserver: pr@macobserver.com
  • Slashdot/MacSlash
  • dev@porting

  • c|net/news.com

    Which is the "appropriate department editor" for a Neo/J press release? --sardisson 01:47, 19 Jun 2005 (CDT)

  • how about some mainstream media?

    :

  • Er, what about Apple.com Hot News (presumably that gets dispensed to all international outlets at Apple as well)?? - seems to be mostly Apple aggregating the media's stories about Apple :-( --sardisson 01:47, 19 Jun 2005 (CDT)
  • XLR8YourMac.com
  • Ars Technica: if you could persuade John Siracusa to write a review that might be pretty cool (he could be interested in the nitty gritty of getting OOo to run natively in OS X given his other columns - might provide an interesting perspective on the "how" rather than the "why" of NeoJ). http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac.ars

• EN_UK

  , : can you add sites/publications to this section?

  : Most of the sites I visit are US ones (when it comes to Mac/Tech news) but here are some possibilities:

  • MacWorld (UK edition): http://www.macworld.co.uk/contact/ (not sure who to e-mail there but they should be sympathetic given the presence of NOJ on their cover CD) - Press Releases - News, Reviews
  • The Register is worth a shot: (again not sure who to e-mail, but Andrew Orlowski or Tony Smith tend to be the ones who report on Mac news) - Press Releases
  • MacUser/PC Pro: Magazine requests that press releases and news items should be submitted to Releases
  • MacFormat Magazine: Reviews: Mark Sparrow Editor: Graham Barlow
  • The National Broadsheets might be worth a go too but I suspect this would be a long shot (for their online versions in their Sci/Tech sections):
    • The Guardian: online@guardian.co.uk
    • The Times: online.editor@timesonline.co.uk
    • The Daily Telegraph: they don't seem to have any easy to find contact address so screw them ;-)
    • The Independent: ditto the Indy - no contact e-mail that I can find
      • Er, I can't remember others at the moment... The Guardian runs an online blog that may pick up the news from other sites anyway, fwiw.

• DE
  • contact info for lots of German Mac media, provided by apfelwiki.de

    Done, except for the ones that seemed very un-Mac/un-tech AFAICT. Sent the English text with an apology saying we wanted to make sure to include them anyway...

• FR
  • MacBidouille -> will be translated and published on HardMac if published
  • MacGeneration
  • Mac4ever
  • MacPlus.org
  • MacTouch.com

  val1984

  Max Barel?

• NL
  • http://www.macosx.nl/ - registered for the forum, will send announcement through http://www.macosx.nl/?p=newssubmit
  • http://macfreak.nl/ - I already registered for the forums, editors are at redactie@macfreak.nl
  • http://www.macfan.nl/ - Idem, but here press releases should go to redactie@macfan.nl

  Ovvldc. I will put the forum registrations to the name of NeoOffice and send these to my own e-mail address for now. After the release dies down, I will change the adresses to our community gmail account and forward the passwords. I'll do forum postings on wednesday as follow-up.
