Hi All, With Fedora/SoaS 21 out for some time I think we have a good and stable release.
Firstly I'd like to thank the awesome test effort to get a large chuck of testing done and fixes in for the deadline. Moving forward I'm happy to coordinate and deal with the release engineering side of things to get the release out, fixes in etc. What I'd like help in is someone who is happy to coordinate testing and general community communications and facilitation. As you might have noticed this isn't one of my strong points! When I do remember to send out notifications to the list it's amazing how people spring into furious action and get things tested and fixes in place. It's relatively straight forward, the Fedora schedule is always well organised [1] as is their QA team. Following the Fedora process, while slightly restrictive, has proven to give us strong releases and deals with a lot of the back in process so we don't have and I don't think it's in our interest in changing that (and personally I have no interest to change that). I'd also be interested interested to hear how people would like to improve the release from a technical perspective. Is there anything people have a few cycles to work and contribute on that they'd like to see in the release? The only change I currently plan is to drop the long dead sugar-presence-service (it's been 5 years!!) and anything that depends on it (eToys I'm looking at you!) as I think over 5 years to port away from it is well and truly enough!
