Hi, in today's developers meeting we made a plan on how to make Sucrose 0.86 a good and solid release. And of course we need YOU to make it a success. Here are the items with their champions and where we need help:
a) Get the tarballs of the 0.85.6 release out tonight [erikos, tomeu] b) Make good release notes [erikos with community help] c) Make rpms [tomeu for Fedora, Aleksey for jhconvert, YOU for your distribution of choice] d) New Soas release [Sebastian] e) Announce widely as soon as possible [YOU can help here to announce for your distribution where the release is packaged, i.e. distribution's planets, mailing lists] f) Get the triagers ready [To be determined] We are looking for a champion of this item. Duties: Organize daily, or every second day meetings for triaging bugs with your squad. Mainly being responsive to incoming bugs. You can read more about how cool the BugSquad is at: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/BugSquad page and erikos himself is happy to answer any questions to how we did rock back in the days ;p g) Testing plans [To be determined] Each feature that landed in 0.86 contains a test plan http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.86/Feature_List. Some of the tickets that got fixed do contain test cases as well. Basically we are looking for someone or a group of people that arrange those items on a wiki page so that testers can test them. h) Testing teams Once we have the packages in the distributions, we will announce it on the mailing list. You are welcome to report bugs you find into our bug tracker. Of course we would welcome any efforts to form testing teams or arrange for testing days! Best to use the mailing list to coordinate those efforts - so as many people as possible can join. i) Bug-fix team Work closely together with the triaging and testing team to get all the bugs out. You don't have to be as quick as Aleksey to contribute, just pick one of the bugs intended for 0.86 and submit the patch following the guidelines at: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Code_Review j) Plan the bug fix releases We will announce a plan for the time after the 0.86 release http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.86/Roadmap#Schedule We will definitely have 1 or two bug fix releases. So stay tuned. Happy bug-fixing, testing, triaging, packaging and releasing to everyone, Your release team _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
