Update: All mentioned RM have agreed (except Guillaume but he was part of the offline discussion so I guess he’s ok).
I have now: * Updated http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HReleaseManagerRole with the new process * Added the RM order at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ReleaseManagerRoster * Modified the Release Plan Template accordingly Thanks everyone! Let’s hope it’s going to be easier now to find RMs ;) -Vincent On 14 Oct 2014 at 15:38:41, [email protected] ([email protected](mailto:[email protected])) wrote: > Hi devs, > > It’s been a pain to find the next Release Manager lately so I discussed with > other committers and here’s what we would like to propose: > > Proposal > ======== > > * We have a list of declared Release Managers.
