Hi Ed I completely agree with that.

It was discussed at the Planning Council meeting with other attendees explaining the Platform team's take on this. But in the end, of course not all projects will even contribute specific builds for any of the Mx or RCx builds, but there was a strong desire to see packages built (or at the very least EPP repos built) for each Mx so that more significant testing can occur throughout the process. We've often been finding problems only once there are packages that allow the milestone to be easily installed. Yes, the quality of the M1 or M3 package may be poor, but it seems better to find out about problems sooner than than later.

We will only submit the bits (latest I-build) to week 3 and 9. For those we will neither have a milestone week nor do any testing nor provide an N&N. For week 6 we will deliver a complete milestone as we used to in the old world. And a minor correction:"The releases will occur end of ..." is wrong. Correct is what's in the FAQ: "The releases will occur near the middle of ...".

After Photon, we will move from a 1 year release cycle to a 13 weeks cycle. The releases will occur end of June, September, December and March each year. There are many different motivations to update the release cadence. The main ones are: * Ease the update from one release to another for the end user * Let developers provide new features faster to their users * Simplify the maintenance by keeping only one stream for contributors The release cycle would be : M1 Friday Week 3 M2 Friday Week 6 M3 Friday Week 9 RC1 Friday Week 10 : API & Feature freeze RC2 Friday Week 11 : Only fixes, all code is done by the end of RC2 GA Wednesday Week 13 Due to this rolling release, our yearly code name pattern does not make sense anymore. This is still under discussion a bugzilla is open to continue the discussion on this topic: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bugs.eclipse.org_bugs_show-5Fbug.cgi-3Fid-3D532220&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=1UITCR5rxUZHSFczvfaNFK4ymEbEiccRX7VKchpqz0Y&m=sk-wGRAwiqjHeacJxFUWmQlZdffMijfVDagcThmoInU&s=4bSDiqlnir7Kmxhf8dvw2x9hv6KTpYekpIyBcch7L5s&e= A FAQ is available on the wiki to answer the most common questions about this new cycle : https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.eclipse.org_SimRel_Simultaneous-5FRelease-5FCycle-5FFAQ&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=1UITCR5rxUZHSFczvfaNFK4ymEbEiccRX7VKchpqz0Y&m=sk-wGRAwiqjHeacJxFUWmQlZdffMijfVDagcThmoInU&s=of2lTdKcClLcI2tKHEQ6m04BAA1xzkrGoTjQIksJ9W8&e= Best regards, -- Mélanie Bats CTO +33 7 87 69 42 84 +33 5 34 57 16 29 @melaniebats *Obeo* 25 Boulevard Victor Hugo - Colomiers - France https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.obeo.fr&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=1UITCR5rxUZHSFczvfaNFK4ymEbEiccRX7VKchpqz0Y&m=sk-wGRAwiqjHeacJxFUWmQlZdffMijfVDagcThmoInU&s=g8W29msAFzbLyfmYh8VNeaVWeudmdEgFjU1PKwRSX_E&e= _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected] To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__dev.eclipse.org_mailman_listinfo_cross-2Dproject-2Dissues-2Ddev&d=DwIGaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=1UITCR5rxUZHSFczvfaNFK4ymEbEiccRX7VKchpqz0Y&m=sk-wGRAwiqjHeacJxFUWmQlZdffMijfVDagcThmoInU&s=Y30pydgGjFthjfCV3BQqx0QScSm43S8I_cOunODADI0&e= _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected] To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected] To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__dev.eclipse.org_mailman_listinfo_cross-2Dproject-2Dissues-2Ddev&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=1UITCR5rxUZHSFczvfaNFK4ymEbEiccRX7VKchpqz0Y&m=mWeGhm_zrSlgU7ada9s-U44-i4E2DnPU_4KCMb6Q_PM&s=RUyJlLGRjSIXRaCBJPV9D0l8romWxT8VLP-dcM_U4Bw&e=
