hejhej, *shrug* no idea if this is too short, too epic, too <anything>. i'd copy the "proposed modules" section and would re-use it for the module announcements email, if nobody complains quickly && loudly. cheers, andre == Minutes of the Release-Team meeting, 2007/Jan/16 ============= 0) Attendance ============= Andre Klapper Elijah Newren Federico Mena-Quintero John Palmieri Kjartan Maraas Vincent Untz No attendance: Frederic Crozat (regrets) Jeff Waugh (regrets) =================== 1) Proposed Modules =================== GnomeScan: NO. Ignored as retracted by maintainer, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2007-January/msg00129.html nm-applet: YES. Included. J5 said that Dan will split nm-applet out of NetworkManager and will create a seperate SVN directory for nm-applet before 2.18.0 (the sooner, the better). We will not add an external dependency on NetworkManager, but have a release note that nm-applet is useless without NetworkManager. seahorse: YES. Included. Seahorse has apparently already gotten usability feedback, incorporated it, and gotten endorsement from usability folks. Also, the maintainers did an amazing work replying to questions, concerns, feature requests, etc. tracker: NO. Ignored as retracted by maintainer, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2007-January/msg00330.html gnome-main-menu: NO. Andre mentioned that 25 new bug reports in the last week indicate problems. John mentioned that there has been only one release. Vincent mentioned that several folks in the community (other maintainers, usability, accessibility folks) had not been contacted before, that there has not been any announcement on the gnome-announce-list, and that no release is available on download.gnome.org. devtools suite: YES. Included. Only positive feedback. We will introduce it for GNOME 2.18, so it will hopefully build momentum for other projects. anjuta: NO. 1.2.x isn't maintained, 2.1.x is a big rewrite and in beta state, so it is not ready yet. devhelp: YES. Included. Only positive feedback. monodevelop: NO. Ignored as withdrawn by Miguel, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2007-January/msg00116.html glade3: YES. Included. Release-Team members were mixed on it, but did not see a strong argument against it going in. Vincent mentioned that probably everybody agrees that we want an interface builder in, and that glade2 is not an option here. ============== 2) Assignments ============== Planning several releases in advance: 2.17.90 J5 2.16.3 Elijah 2.17.91 Kjartan 2.17.92 Vincent (/Andre?) 2.18.0 Elijah (/Andre?) Federico mentioned that he is stepping down from the release team. He will try to find a replacement. Andre will email the module announcements. ================= 3) Release Issues ================= Vincent will contact the marketing team for the release notes. Kjartan asked Federico on the maintenance state of Evolution with regard to unresponded bugzilla reports. We finished by realizing that we probably cannot get anything out of discussing Evolution. Andre plans to do another bugs showstopper review this week. Andre will poke on the usability list in order to find somebody to identify important *UI* issues for 2.20. We agreed that we should stick some comment on the schedule about only proposing modules if one is the maintainer of that particular module. ======================================== 4) Having Modules using gtkmm in Desktop ======================================== We agreed that a discussion within the community should be started a few days after we have announced the new modules. ======== 5) Miscs ======== Vincent proposes to have at least one meeting at the beginning of a cycle. == andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/portal/aklapper
