Release Manager for 4.1.2
If needed, I can try to set-up Windows machine for builds. But I'm not very familiar with digital singing (and to be honest I never finish Windows build, but I tried to build it with MSVC2012). Maybe I can help with patch integration but I lack knowleage in this area too. What about ACEU hackaton ? :) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
