Not much has changed indeed. I pushed to have buildbots running before the release, but indeed if buildbots are problematic and the same volunteers who built the previous releases can still commit to doing so for the next one, it is no major problem.

Very honestly, I would like that we don't depend on individuals for project resources, but maybe it is easier for a developer to share an existing virtual machine (and possibly get it running at Apache) than to prepare a buildbot environment.

do we really want to wait until this magically happens ?

No, since it won't magically happen. So, what is the minimum we can do for a 4.1.2 release? I would set it at:
- New/updated translations
- New/updated dictionaries
- Bugfixes (to be discussed)
- Signed Windows binaries
- Binaries for all other systems as usual

I can volunteer for the first two items (coordinating translations and adding/updating dictionaries).

But I'm actually missing some information maybe. Out of the following releases, which ones were built on individuals' machines for 4.1.1? All? Some? And are these built in a VM that we could consider moving to Apache hardware or not?
1) Windows
2) Linux 64 bit (RPM+DEB)
3) Linux 32 bit (RPM+DEB)
4) Mac

  Andrea.
