[gdal-dev] Release Meeting Minutes

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have written up the minutes from Friday's release meeting.

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ThirdMeeting

Key items:

     * Frank Warmerdam named release manager.
     * Last friday declared RFC freeze day ... that is, it is too late for
       new RFCs to go into the 1.6.0 release.

Release Schedule:
     * October 29th: Beta 1  (this Wednesday!)
     * November 12th: Beta 2
     * November 26th: RC 1
     * Additional RCs as needed (hopefully only a few days apart) till
       final release approved

Please try to get new development items completed by Wednesday and into
trunk for inclusion in beta1.  There will be two weeks for agreessive
bug fixing during the beta1 period.  The beta2 period should hopefully
be for more conservative bug fixing (avoiding riskier fixes for marginal
problems).

Best regards,
--
