Hello! in order to help me comprehend the new process, and to enable me to convey it in a fast way I went ahead and drew some process diagrams. They are stored in https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/?pli=1#folders/0B2TRRvye9pnjMGZhOTA0NzktNmIzMy00YmUyLWFiYzMtMmIxYmUxMjY0MzU5, a collection of files which I have now shared with you.
There are two sets of files in there: GRAPHML are the original drawings, using BPMN notation and created in yEd. SVGs are probably most convenient for you to look at first. The files with "-simple" in the name are simplified versions where I tried to remove some of the elements and process artefacts in order to make the process steps more visible. I based the diagrams on the wonderful description of each process as done by James Westby, but admittedly any mistakes in the diagrams are my own. I do not claim these to be complete. There are gaping holes in the diagrams - eg the infrastructure/platform-integration parts are missing. But rather than trying to finish them in a cathedral manner, maybe they can be improved incrementally - with your feedback. I will take the "-simple" diagrams and provide even simpler versions, taking horizontal slices and showing the process steps eg for the development teams only. That could help TLs when discussing the process with engineers. Also note: I clearly do not handle questions about the tools in these diagrams. IMHO tools should support a clearly defined set of processes which we should agree upon. I do not aim to demean the tools importance, rather wanted to focus first on understanding and agreeing on the process. Anyway, let me know if you have feedback or questions.
