Thanks for the reminder. :-) Working well: 1. Strong release lead 2. CI in better shape 3. Good momentum (right now)
Not working well: 1. Scope slipping. "Just one more small thing..." 2. Not a shared view on version meaning (e.g. what's a bug fix release?) 3. Hard to keep up on ML discussions based on issue number (missing context) Stephen, hats off to you for taking the lead on this release. Having one person keeping things together for a release is very important IMHO. /Anders On Mon, Mar 13, 2017 at 10:19 PM, Stephen Connolly < [email protected]> wrote: > Gentle reminder.
