Hi all, I am volunteering to manage and perform a Derby 10.13 release sometime this fall. Rick has generously offered to mentor and guide me through the release process, as this will be the first release I've attempted to build.
There won't be a lot of new features in this release, so far as I know, because the activity over the last year has been mostly bug fixes. However, there are a number of valuable bug fixes already present, and I'm hopeful there will be more. And, I think it's a healthy thing for a software project community to produce regular releases. And, I think it's helpful to me to have my first release be a relatively small one, so I can focus on the overall process aspects. Please let me know your feedback and suggestions, as well as whether you know of any particular projects that are underway which might benefit from a certain release schedule. I'm hoping to start this process sometime in September, but I realize it may take some time. I anticipate the actual release date would be sometime mid-fall. thanks, bryan
