All,
We've made a lot of progress over the weekend and the past few days
in terms of testing, bug fixing as well as new features. At this
point though we are running out of time and need to shift from
features to finish and testing to make sure we're putting out the
best offering we can. Given that there are a few things we need to
do and I need your help.
First, we need to manage our way out of the outstanding 98 JIRAs for
1.0. I would like to ask everyone that has a JIRA for 1.0 (either
reported by you and unassigned or assigned to you) to please quickly
review it and prioritize it appropriately. The assignment should
be:
1.0 (absolutely needs to be in ... stop ship if its in this category)
1.1 (important but can be addressed later)
1.x (sooner than later but not immediately urgent)
wishlist (self explanatory)
Please do this today. If you absolutely cannot let me know and I'll
defer them for you :)
Because we need to finish TCK testing as well as test the packaging
and installer I would like to make today the last day for fixing
function / features.. I propose we cut a 1.0 branch tonight so we
can fix things like missing content in the console and other items
that will be removed from Geronimo that need to remain in HEAD for
further development.
Also, we will make the final cutover of versions from SNAPSHOTs to
their released versions for TranQL, Open EJB, and Axis. I think we
have everything else taken care of.
Preferrably it would be great if we can start a vote on Friday for a
release assuming we get the remaining work completed.
Please respond to this e-mail with outstanding urgent issues that
need to be completed. Here is a start for this activity:
* Remove broken / non-functional links in the console
* Installer work completed
* Testing of sample apps to ensure we have not regressed
* Continued build problems due to "new" maven goals
These continue but seem to subside after removing all traces of old
plugins and building twice.
* Remove links to Confluence on the Welcome page
* Are we going to include the TranQL Connectors for Oracle and DB2?
I would rather not include the oracle connector since I don't think it
has been tested in the last year or so. Matt would be able to advise
on the stability of the db2 connector. I would rather not include
them unless we are quite confident they work reliably.
- hot deploy config (easy)
DONE
- dtds included in schema directory (pretty easy)
- online deployer. I think this is basically a packaging issue at
this point, but I haven't started trying to make it work
DONE
- shutdown jar DONE
- offline deployer. I would rather release this set of tools in a
week or so when we have had more of a chance to discuss how they
should work. I have the start of new deployer and assembly command
line tools based on the packaging and assembly plugins on my machine,
but it is unlikely that any interface I come up with to run them will
be considered usable by anyone else.
- trade app >> applications
-- more sample apps???

I'll update the release managemetn page.
Thanks,
Matt
