Hi folks, now that Artful Aardvark 17.10 archive is now open, and our developers are preparing packages for testing and upload, we're heading towards Alpha 1 which is scheduled for June 29. So no hurry, but why not get things set up now?
I helped Walter (wxl) who functioned as our RM last cycle, and it wasn't *hard* -- but there were lots of steps. I think a small team would do this job better than one person, so I'd like people to look at the job and step up for this cycle. It would be great is someone who likes Facebook, can be active there, for instance. Same with Kubuntuforums, Twitter, Reddit, G+. In fact, this call might be spread to those places too! By the way, Walter has promised to help us out if we need it. I was thinking of a separate IRC channel and/or a Telegram group, but we've been using #kubuntu-council, and Kubuntu Council Telegram group which are bridged, and it's working well. I think that members of the Council who aren't packaging will want to help out in this way anyway. The IRC channel is public, and I'll add anyone to the T-group who wants that. If that channel gets too busy or the rest of the KC wants it separate, we can do that too. I have a wiki page on Phabricator about the RM work: https://phabricator.kde.org/w/kubuntu/release-management/. Walter made a page for us on the KDE wiki: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/ReleaseManagement . And today Walter shared an older wiki page that they have used to keep track of who is doing what in Lubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/PrePostReleaseTODO To get organized we could do a similar page on one of the wikis, LP, or instead -- anybody have any ideas? Step up folks, and let's get set up. Valorie PS: Supposedly UOS is next week, but http://summit.ubuntu.com/ is still empty. I think the big changes that Mark Shuttleworth announced have thrown people into a bit of a loop. When it is scheduled, maybe we could have a session and do this planning in real-time? -- http://about.me/valoriez -- kubuntu-devel mailing list kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
