Hi All, I have some good news. My employer has decided that it would be a good idea to bring a new dbmail version to production. This means I have a full work-week in which I can contribute to the dbmail project. This will start April 10th.
For my employer gmime3 and new debian packaging is a necessity and a precondition to donate the hours I make. I created PR's on these issues for everyone to comment on. https://github.com/dbmail/dbmail/pulls It would be nice to have a clear list of pull requests that could make it to the next release. In my personal time I will have a look at https://github.com/pjstevns/dbmail/pulls and see what changes are there that I can support. If you have a PR in that list I will probably ask you some questions in the near future. If you feel you can do some work on them you could also create a new PR to the dbmail/dbmail repo. (If you forked from pjstevns/dbmail, making a PR to dbmail/dbmail is not easy. I created a new fork from dbmail/dbmail, transferred my branches locally, pushed them and then created my new PR's) Starting April 10th I will try to merge as much PR's into a releasable branch, a release candidate if you will. I will do tests, some load-testing and generally make sure this is suitable for production. My focus will be on amd64 on linux. In this week I will bring this release candidate into production on our own servers. After this week in my own time I will still make contributions and work to get the release candidate into a proper release. What are your opinions on this? Are there any concerns I should be thinking about, that I might have missed? If any of you feel you can contribute and want to do more synchronized communication on it we can probably do a IRC or slack channel or something. I am open for any suggestions. Greetings, Casper
