[Holger Levsen] > How about we release a Squeeze Alpha during DebCamp, that is the > last week of July, so roughly in 3 weeks?
I believe we need a lot of time after the first alpha to get feedback and try to use that feedback to fix discovered issues before squeeze freezes. So I would have the first alpha release earlier, perferably in a week, to give us several weeks to fix issues discovered. Should we aim for a alpha release next weekend (July 16-18th)? The LDAP structure is the biggest issue to figure before we should upload to unstable, but I believe we should not wait for a resolution before releasing the first alpha snapshot. As I said in my inital email, I believe we should focus on the user applications for the first alpha, and focus on the main-server setup in later releases. The reason I believe we should focus on user applications, is that these are normally maintained by people outside the Debian Edu team, and fixing them, adding translations or correcting menu items etc thus involve a lot more time to get fixed. If we should add a new user application, we will need some time to ensure that they are translated to the languages we care about etc. :) Related wiki pages are <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes> for release notes, <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Squeeze >for the status and <URL: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/NewLDAPStructure > for the LDAP structure. I recommend using the jxplorer program to browse the LDAP structure when installing Debian Edu/Squeeze.
