Nicolas,

Re "more senior than me": Yes, I have been around for longer. I might even have more experience. But:

1. For a community to be robust, it shouldn't have a single point of failure, or be dependent on one person (or a small team) who become overworked.

2. A robust community has worked out how to bring new people into the fold, and help them become as productive as they wish to be. This means having a supportive, encouraging culture.

3. We are a Do-ocracy.

4. We will be stronger, and look stronger from externally if we demonstrate multiple people of influence.

5. I'm capped out with my volunteer time, and am wanting to start tackling another bold initiative (without ignoring my responsibilities to OSGeo-Live). [1]

6. I've been continually impressed with OSGeo-Live initiatives you and other recent people have been taking on, and am very encouraging and hopeful you will continue and get as much out of OSGeo-Live as I have in the past.

7. Super-chickens: [2]

Hi Cameron,

Sorry i was offline, yesterday.

I think we can release it that way. It is the point of being reviewed, and you are more senior than me. I think we should wait for the website to be updated, unfortunatly we are behind schedule.


It makes a lot to discuss on monday :)

    Hi Nicholas,

    Comments inline. Feel free to make updates to the press release as
    you see fit.

    Cameron,

    I simply copy-past the previous one and updated the data.
    Yes, that is what we usually do, I suggest have a quick look at
    the 10.0 press release.

    I'm ok with the short introduction, because I had the idea but
    not the words to explain what we did. Thanks for that.

    I let the software versions because I think it  is interessing to
    know. Like "I use the same version of that, ok. Oh, there is a
    major version of this, let's look at that."

    I understand the all or nothing in that case. So I'm more for the
    all.
    I'm ok with that. So either include versions of all packages on
    OSGeo-Live, or none, or just those that have changed, or select
    out just those that have major changes (as was done in the 10.0
    release). (You had a subset of packages is listed.)

    About dropped projects, we should have a word about that since
    people might read only news about releases.
    I've added a mention that we have removed some projects, but have
    not identified them by name. My reasoning is that it may be seen
    as a bit painful for the communities being retired from
    OSGeo-Live, and it is respectful to not emphasis this.
    However, I'm ok to be over-ruled.


    Best,

    Nicolas

        Thanks Nicolas,

        I've reviewed the press release and made a few minor changes.
        A couple of formatting/syntax issues, I don't think we need
        to call out the specific projects we have dropped, and I've
        copied a few words "about this release" from the presentation.

        I notice that the list of applications was incomplete, and I
        don't think listing the applications adds much value, so I've
        dropped that.

                Hi all,

                Since there was a week of testing without a blocker
                issue being reported, on the weekly meeting we
                decided to rename rc1 as final.

                Here are the pending tasks for the 11.0 release:
                1. Rename the release files (done)
                2. Create the VM version (done)
                3. Upload the release files on Sourceforge (Angelos
                - in progress)
                4. Update the web site to 11.0
                5. Send out a press release

                We need volunteers to pick up items 4 and 5.

                Best,
                Angelos
