> 13:53 < ke4qqq> nslater: anything you see as blocking a release?
> 13:53 < nslater> too numerous for me to list here
> 13:53 < nslater> (in the middle of a release at work, sorry)

> 13:54 < nslater> one thing i would like to say about the 4.0 release is
> this:
> 13:54 < nslater> 1. let's do a 4.0 RFC, where we provide a pre-release
> source package and ask for comment
> 13:54 < nslater> releases are... expensive (in terms of community time)
> 13:54 < nslater> best to catch objections before going through the
> actual motions
> 13:54 < chipc> nslater - yes - agreed
> 13:54 < chipc> we discussed that a bit earlier in the thread
> 13:54 < nslater> 2. i want us to document our release process as we're
> learning it
> 13:55 < nslater> that means creating a new "Release Process" document
> on the wiki
> 13:55 < topcloud_> nslater: I'm planning to do that this week.
> 13:55 < nslater> and adding things to it as the RM and the community
> figure out what our process is
> 13:55 < nslater> the idea here is that other people can step in at any
> time to follow the process and cut a release
> 13:55 < topcloud_> nslater: absolutely agree on documenting on what we
> learned.
> 13:55 < nslater> i would also like us to start ANOTHER document called
> a "Test Procedure"
> 13:55 < bhaisaab> +1
> 13:55 < nslater> let me fetch an example
> 13:55 < chipc> http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Release_Procedure
> 13:56 < nslater> that is one
> 13:56 < nslater> check out this:
> 13:56 < nslater> http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Test_procedure
> 13:56 < nslater> the first one is for the RM
> 13:56 < nslater> the second one is what the RM sends out in the VOTE thread
> 13:56 < nslater> its a set of instructions for the community that will
> help them cast a vote
> 13:56 < nslater> i.e. "okay, so i have a source tarball... what am i
> looking for here??"
> 13:56 < topcloud_> nslater: thanks...will follow the format.  although
> i think for cs, it's still a little rough
> 13:57 < nslater> thats fine, these things are living documents
> 13:57 < ke4qqq> I think chipc has written most of the mchanics...but
> rest of the process is still a bit vague
> 13:57 < nslater> but we need to give the community an idea of what

> 13:57 < nslater> what are they supposed to be testing? <-- primary

> 13:58 < chipc> topcloud_: you want to start the pages today?  I'm
> happy to edit away on the mechanics of the release itself
> 13:58 < topcloud_> chipc: will do
> 13:58 < chipc> nslater - so your concerns are largely docs and process

>
> 13:59 < chipc> I just want to make sure we understand if there are other
> areas
> 13:59 < nslater> i wouldn't call them concerns. just two things that

> 13:59 < nslater> as for other areas, i would have to review my mail to

> 14:00 < nslater> if you send out an rfc i will use that as an excuse

> 14:00 < chipc> excellent
> 14:00 < nslater> a documented test procedure will help me (and others)

> 14:00 < chipc> so it sounds like we are headed to a RFC build on Friday

> 14:00 < chipc> let's start with that assumption

> 14:01 < nslater> i dont want to depress you...
> 14:01 < nslater> but sometimes i has taken months to get something released
> 14:01 < nslater> i think the highest number of rounds we ever hit was

> 14:01 < nslater> (as in, restarted the vote following changes to
> address problems 5 times)
> 14:02 < nslater> that is an *extreme* example
> 14:02 < chipc> yeah, we want to get to the point of trying
> 14:02 < nslater> sure
> 14:02 < chipc> that's the goal really
> 14:02 < nslater> just i had seen definitive release dates bandied about
> 14:02 < nslater> theres not procedural reason not to do that, but

> 14:02 < ke4qqq> nslater: just lines in sand to push people to
> 14:02 < nslater> ultimately the community will decide what and when we ship
> 14:02 < nslater> and yes, agreed - goals are good things
> 14:03 < chipc> nslater - I think the issue continues to be terminology

> 14:03 < nslater> oh?
> 14:04 < topcloud_> we should do the rfc build today.  I don't see

> 14:04 < chipc> nslater - transition from Citrix project to community

> 14:05 < chipc> topcloud_ so I've been doing the daily builds
