 Hi Michael,

 I thought of one item we missed in making this checklist.

 factory G1G1 image.

 Can you add that to the check list so we are fully ready to produce this
 image when its done?


Don't the licensing issues with the activities that C. Scott brought up
yesterday have to be cleared before this list can be finalized?

Or are you talking about a more abstract wishlist here?

Regards,
Christoph


 If that decision can come out of synch with the blessing of the core
 image we can track it elsewhere. I just want to make sure we nail it
 down soon so we don't have a lot of latency between finalizing the image
 and getting it shipped on newly manufactured XOs.

 Thanks,

 Greg S

 In preparation for shipping an 8.2.0 build to manufacturing, we need to
 agree on release criteria. To that end, I have stubbed out rough ECO
 documentation for 8.2.0 at

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0/Checklist

 Please review these pages and offer suggestions on their talk pages so
 that I can fold your comments into the pages over the next week.

 So far, the most important changes I have made include:

* Stating some of the technical documentation that future stable
  releases should include and making space for us to try creating that
  documentation for 8.2.0 at our leisure.

* Stating the list of locales and keyboards which I believe must be
  minimally qualified for 8.2.0. See

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Notes/Localization_1

  for notes on what I mean by 'release X is qualified for locale Y'.

* Created a test item for documentation signoff on the manual and
  activities signoff on the derivative builds.

* Created final test items for release criteria including:

 1 week of community testing
 all recent bugs triaged
 no 8.2.0 blockers
 release notes signoff

 What have I missed?

Hi Christoph,

Not sure if the licensing thing will be a deal breaker for including 
activities in the manufactured image, but we should definitely get that 
right ASAP.

All I'm saying is that we need to decide which activities to include in 
the image before they start manufacturing them for sale.

I want to make sure that decision gets made early. We should also test 
those activities with an extra level of focus since we know they will 
get built in. Better to do that before the release is closed. That's why 
I think it merits a place on the ECO checklist.

Thanks,

Greg S

Hi,

We need to pick the set of activities which we will include in the
factory G1G1 image.

Can you add that to the check list so we are fully ready to produce
this image when its done?

I should get my proposal in early, then.  :)  I'd like us to consider
shipping the WikiBrowse English activity (available on the Activities
page) with G1G1.

- Chris.
