Release plan Q&A

• Sharada Strasmore (in chat): can the timelines/checkpoints be on the google calendar to help track
  • Michael: Good idea. Mostly the calendar has been for regular public events, but will look into it for Checkpoints.
  • JR Heard: Really like release plan page, which will be helpful in providing visibility into the process
• Sean Holman: This is great. Given the planning cycle and the length of this, what’s the flexibility for adopting and reprioritizing features that are in the plan?
  • It will change slightly. New process is having more planning, goal-setting, and feature proposals up front.
  • We’ve sometimes tried to squeeze things in at the end of the cycle.
  • Don’t know that it will happen us much, unless it’s something urgent, obvious, or not requiring a whole lot of discussion
• Sean Holman: Inevitably last minute things do happen.
  • If something came along weeks 8, 9, 10 that really needed to go in, we could use the flexibility in the timeline and push things out.
  • We could also shrink the timeline if we want to get to breaking changes in the next release.
• Kegan Mahar: None of this replaces the milestones on GH. Will still be tracking there.

WGSC

• Mark Maxham: Can we do a social meet-and-greet?
  • Yes let’s discuss planning an event at the WGSC intro meeting with Angela G

Support

• JR Heard: History of supported versions?
  • Michael: Support is currently patching typos and fixing things, providing documentation and guidance, and signalling from OMF on what versions should be supported.
  • Jascha: Desire to not have fragmentation, and to have a standard some cutoff is required. Discussion needed about the ‘supported’ language since we don’t technically support a release (eg, no 800 number).
