Re: [Geoserver-devel] GeoTools and GeoServer time boxed release model proposal
Hello Andrea, the GSIP plus what came out from the gs/gt meeting looks good to me, I don't have much to add, this is a very good proposal. Two things: 1. Fully agree with the wiki page listing the available resources for the release; I guess should be one or two responsible of collecting volunteers and updating the wiki though. In this same page I woul highlight that the stable branches are not necessairly maintained, and eventually if someone wants to maintain a branch, report the name into the wiki as reference. 2. I can volunteer to help writing the documentation for the release process using the Justin scripts Regards, Alessio. --- Ing. Alessio Fabiani Founder / CTO GeoSolutions S.A.S. GeoSolutions S.A.S.

Re: [Geoserver-devel] GeoTools and GeoServer time boxed release model proposal
Great proposal Andrea, looking forward to getting this rolling. +1 with a few comments. * If we find that the 1 month release frequency is a bit much, due to resourcing constraints, or whatever, we might consider to reduce the cycle back to a release very 2 months. * We should capture this in the developer guide.
