Hi, I am throwing my hat in the ring to serve as release manager for Evergreen 3.4, the autumn 2019 release. I have previously served as RM for 2.10 and 3.0.
I expect that one focus for 3.4 will be continuing the work of converting web staff client interfaces to Angular. I will support and encourage that work, and I have a particular interest in making the process of updating Angular and NPM dependencies be more frequent and systematic. Another topic I would like to explore during the 3.4 cycle is taking steps to make the Evergreen API easier to use for developers outside of the project. Another goal I would like to pursue is removing more of the vestiges of the XUL client. As I did during the 3.0 release cycle, I propose to post biweekly development updates to the Evergreen blog and the development mailing list. I also intend to call at least one feedback fest. As a reminder, a "feedback fest" is a week during which every pending pull request gets reviewed to either merge it or provide substantive feedback if it's not ready to be merged yet. Feedback fest would be a complement to the bug squashing weeks. As far as the release schedule is concerned, I anticipate no particular deviations from the normal autumn release schedule. If elected, I will propose a detailed release schedule during the Evergreen Conference.
