Hi Jacopo,
Thanks for the good work.
Minor: I have added normally in "a new Major Release Number is normally created
every year in April". Just in case we have suddenly
to change our convention regarding the date (I see no reasons but why not)
For demo mainteners information:
======================
This morning, I have checked and adjusted all the scripts for trunk changes:
automatically used each day: check-svn-update.sh
convenient ones I created for manual tasks : manual.sh, trunk-manual.sh,
stable-manual.sh
At some point we were running a buggy version of the JDK and then switched to
jdk1.6.0_23 in our startofbiz.sh
files:
# temporary fix for a bug in Hot-Spot before jdk1.6.0_22(b09)
JAVA="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sunjdk/jdk1.6.0_23/bin/java"
I forgot that when I switched to ant start-batch in trunk but fortunately we no
longer need to worry since infra provides now by
default /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26
Some questions to the community:
=======================
R10.04 is now our stable branch and we have decided to no longer support
releases under our current stable. Since we have enough
resources, some time ago, I had suggested to run in demo not only the trunk and
stable but also the previous release (would be at
the moment R09.04). Christian has done the work for that (thanks Christian!).
But now, because of our new policy regarding releases,
I would like to ask the community if we should run 3 (trunk, stable, older) or
only 2 demos?
We are curently still running R09.04 as our stable demo. I saw that someone has
done the work to be able to run R10.04
(demo-branch10.4-setup.diff, not sure if it has been applied?). Is it not the
time to switch to it as our stable?
Also, since we now we have some RTL users and our default Theme Tomahawk does
not allow them to use their prefered or mother tongue
language. I'd like to ask the community if they would not like to change for
Flat-Grey? An alternative would be to keep Tomahawk as
default and put a word about that in footer, but it's less convenient...

Thank you Hans,
the download page is intended to end users and we can't include there links to
download code that has not been officially
approved; this was an issue we had in the past and the ASF asked us to fix the
page in the past.
For the trunk all the information is here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBADMIN/ofbiz-source-repository-and-access.html
(but that page will have to be converted to html and become "more official").

This looks pretty good Jacopo,
congratulations.
However no mention of the latest trunk? That should be at least mentioned.
Regards,
Hans

I have now updated the OFBiz download page with a new section containing the
tentative release schedule for each release:

Congratulations, we have now a plan (simple but effective and achievable) and
at least users now have a clear vision of the
lifespan of the release branch they are using and can plan in advance the
migration of their custom instance.

For me also 6 months seems long enough for the 1st official release. I'm just
afraid: will we have not a lot of work to
release so often (relases themself, annunciations, site update and especially
demos updates)
Anyway it seems we need to do it, maybe at the expense of other areas we are
working on (Jiras, users support, etc.)
It will take time for sure but working on releases should be the main goal of a
community within the ASF: a release is the
only trusted way to publish the work we do: if we fix a bug but we do not issue
a release the users will not get real benefit.
Sounds logical and good to me. It's time to go ahead regarding our way of doing
releases. Some time ago, due to our change of
way (less using trunk), I was afraid that committers activity would be lower,
but it seems to be steady up... so far...
