Hello Derby Developers,
I would like to release manage a 10.8 maintenance release, Derby
10.8.3. I put proposed dates at:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenEightThreeRelease
This would give us a bit more than a month of focused bug fixing before
the release candidate October 22 and then hopefully get the release out
November 5, well before the holidays begin. Does that sound agreeable
to everyone?
We already have 64 fixes in 10.8 since 10.8.2 but it would be great to
really focus on bugfixing over the next month to get even more. The bug
fixing effort can also benefit a 10.9 maintenance release hopefully
shortly there after if we get a release manager volunteer. I am going
to announce some sort of contest involving chocolate for our most
valuable bug fixer, details TBA.
To help prioritize for bug fixing I set up a DerbyTenTenBugTriage page
so we can get at least the untriaged bugs triaged and identify any new
high value fix candidates for the release. This is at:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenTenBugTriage. Please pick up a
a block of bugs to triage and make sure you add ones you think would be
valuable fixes for the release to the high value fix candidates list.
Happy Fixing !
Kathey
