Hi, It's now time to decide who will be Release Manager for the spring 2020 release of Evergreen, Evergreen 3.5.
The Release Manager does not have to be a core committer, but does need to be familiar with Git and have already contributed substantially to the Evergreen project whether it be code or documentation. For this release, I would like to especially encourage people to put in proposals to be co-RMs. A pair of people acting as RM can of course help spread out the work, but it would also be a mechanism for somebody who has previously acted as RM to help mentor somebody who is acting as RM for the first time. Nominations (including self-nominations) are due by 11:59 PM EDT on Friday, 25 October 2019. Nominations should be made by email to open-ils-dev@list.georgialibraries.org with a Cc: to open-ils-gene...@list.georgialibraries.org. Replying to all on this email will also work. Nominees should send an email to both of the above mailing lists a statement about their relationship to the Evergreen community and their goals for the next release. The elected release manager will be expected to follow the typical schedule for a spring release but should provide information on when they intend to set specific milestones such as the beta release. If more than one candidate is nominated, an election will be held in the #evergreen IRC channel on freenode.net on 30 October at 15:00 EDT / 12:00 PDT. Everyone is invited to participate in the voting. Evergreen core committers who cannot make the meeting may submit their vote via email to the open-ils-dev mailing list.
