Is there a program for the plugfest, like what happens which day?
I only see few topics on email or etherpads (for the test wg) with no 
information about the date.
Can someone provide an overview of the typical plugfest agenda?
If I can attend, I may not be able to stay the whole week (likely at most 3 
days) so for me I need to know rather quickly which 3 consecutive days are of 
interest to me.

Thanks

  Alec

Subject: [opnfv-project-leads] [release] improving branch process

Team,

This will be a topic at our upcoming plugfest (Dec 4 - 8), but I'd like to 
start the discussion now with the goal of having a draft proposal that we can 
review and finalize at plugfest.  We can discuss this on the mailing list and I 
will also devote some time to it during the weekly release call.

In both the Danube and Euphrates releases, the process of enabling CI and test 
on the branch has taken as long as two weeks to complete, following MS7.  As a 
result, we are left with just a few days to fix remaining bugs and finalize the 
scenarios prior to the release date.

Therefore, as a starting point, I'd like to propose the following:
1.       Reduce the branch window from 2 weeks to 1 week, thereby pulling in 
MS7 by one week.
2.       Trevor B has told me that many of the activities that, in the past, 
we've waited until MS7 to complete, could actually be done before MS7.  So, 
let's address the following:
o    What activities must be performed when we branch (detailed description), 
such that we have builds, testing, and the test results dashboard operational 
on the branch?
o    Do each of those activities have an owner?
o    Which of these activities could be performed prior to MS7?
I'd like to set a goal of having builds, test, and test results dashboard 
operational on the branch within 3 business days following the branch.  That 
is, if the branch occurs on a Friday, then we are operational on the branch by 
COB on the following Wednesday.

Here's what (I think) I know about what must be done when we branch.  Please 
correct and fill in the details, including who owns the task.  Also, please 
comment on whether a task can be done in advance of branching.
1.       Update docker yaml file
2.       Enable testing (RELENG repo)
3.       Create Jenkins jobs for branch for each installer
4.       Update the test results dashboard
I think that we can shave at least a week off of this process.  That, in 
combination with pulling MS7 in by a week should give our team sufficient time 
to complete the release.  I appreciate your input.

David
