Devs,

Given that the major issues that where preventing us from releasing
6.2 have now been ironed out, I believe that we can enter our usual release phase, as documented at https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-6.2-Release-Plan/

The documentation of our release process needs to be updated with the tasks induced by our switch from svn+trac to git+github. I will take care of updating RFC34 (release management), RFC7.1 (comitter guidelines), and other miscellaneous docs in the coming days.

These are the proposed release dates:

* branch-6-2 creation, 6.2.0-beta1 : Fri. June 29th, 2012
* 6.2.0-beta2 - Wed. July 11th
* 6.2.0-beta3 -    Wed. July 18th
* 6.2.0-rc1 -  Wed. July 25th
* 6.2.0-rc2 -   Wed. Aug 1st
* 6.2.0 (final) -  Wed. Aug 8rd

The branch creation and beta1 release will diverge from our usual Wednesday release scheduling, in order to account for this motion's voting period, and account for the 4th of July being a day off in the US.

MOTION:
***
I propose that we adopt the MapServer 6.2 release plan at https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-6.2-Release-Plan/,
with a branching and beta1 release date of June 29th, 2012, and a release date around August 8th, 2012 with Thomas Bonfort acting as Release Manager.
***

And I start with my +1

regards,
thomas
