[fdo-internals] FDO RFC 14 -- FDO Release Manager and ReleaseProcess

[Orest Halustchak]

Hi,

I have some questions.

RFC Freeze Date: How do we determine that date? Will it be before end of development, e.g. 'n' weeks before end of development?

For RFCs that appear after the RFC freeze date, they can simply roll into the next release.

Feature freeze date: So, what do we do with any components that have not been completed by this date? They have to be removed from the release?

Beta releases: 2-3 betas plus a couple of release candidates seems like a lot of separate releases within that 2 month period.

Thanks,
Orest.

Your proposal is a good one. I will add a comment regarding posting status updates to  fdo-internals.

I am happy with this proposal as it stands.  Is it worth explicitly mentioning that the RM should communicate status to the -internals list during the release cycle?

I don't know if this position could effectively be undertaken by a non-ADSK member at this point, but more transparency in the process is important, and I think that as the project matures this limitation will go away.

Hi All,

Based on feedback from Daniel Morissette, obtained during the FDO Incubation/Graduation process, I have posted FDO RFC 14 - FDO Release Manager and Release Process.

http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FDORfc14

I would appreciate any comments or feedback that you may have on this matter.

Thanks,
Greg
