Creating a schedule for releases

Hi,

Taking the lead from the Mylar development team, whom I have a great  
deal of respect for, I would like to create a shared Google calendar  
where we can put some releases on schedules. I know at least for  
Maven itself, Doxia, Wagon and some plugins I'm working on I have a  
clear idea of when they will be released. But what the Mylar team  
does is work under the general Europa guidelines and they try and do  
releases every 6 weeks. So I'm not sure how the everything will be  
ultimately schedule but I would like to make a start at trying to  
provide some transparency as the Mylar team does.

So the though was that we would have a calendar on Google where  
everyone on the PMC has access to the schedule (as it's a PMC person  
who has to do a release) and I'll start the by putting in the Maven  
releases. I planned 4 weeks between the last releases and it ended up  
being 6 so I'll shoot for that again, but even if we're off a bit it  
keeps the users informed and they will have a single place to look  
for planned releases dates.

I would like to set this up asap.

+1

Jason.

Totally agree. And drawing this information into a known, persistent,  
and up-to-date location can only help get more people involved. The  
most successful releases will come when 3, 4 or more people are  
popping in fixes in those 4-6 weeks.

Just to highlight what I was getting at in the previous mail and the  
site mail earlier (though it probably goes without saying) - this  
will only be successful if everyone is also diligent about things  
like maintaining JIRA, CI (when it gets running again), testing, and  
some level of documentation throughout the whole release cycle.  
There's not much point cutting a release on time if it drops in  
stability or %complete in terms of tests or docs. That's all I was  
getting at.

Mylar, and the rest of Europa projects, schedule releases but if they  
don't have anything to release they don't. But the projects that  
actually make their release dates are the ones people come to trust.  
Mylar is all volunteers (not even a company paying some of the bills  
until very recently) and they have managed to stick to this schedule.  
There is no reason why we shouldn't be able to do this.

+1, I had a draft mail saying roughly the same thing.

We will probably still need to be occasionally flexible depending on  
availability of people, too, but as we start whipping out non-alpha  
releases of some of the underlying stuff and increasing the general  
amount of testing, it'll be much easier to make a call to cut some  
things and release anyway since it will be stable already, right? :)

That sounds like a great idea...and one less place to visit.

I know the calendar is already out there so this might be late info (I
didn't think of it before), but I thought I'd point out that Jira has the
ability to set release dates and there is a calendar portlet you can add to
show them. It's probably less functionality than the google one, but it
could also incorporate the releases of all plugins, including ones where the
lead isn't on the PMC (if there are any).

I think just pointing to the calendar will suffice. I think a lot of

Looks like we'll need an new maven-ical-report for the site generation.

To inject the schedule into the site, with links to the live-schedule.

2.1-alpha-1 will go on the schedule, the issues are registered for it  
and John and I would like to cut the alpha in the coming week so  
we'll get wiki fleshed out with details of the issues listed in JIRA.

+1. More info helps the users to plan and gives the devs something to

Hi,

Taking the lead from the Mylar development team, whom I have a great  
deal of respect for, I would like to create a shared Google calendar  
where we can put some releases on schedules. I know at least for  
Maven itself, Doxia, Wagon and some plugins I'm working on I have a  
clear idea of when they will be released. But what the Mylar team  
does is work under the general Europa guidelines and they try and do  
releases every 6 weeks. So I'm not sure how the everything will be  
ultimately schedule but I would like to make a start at trying to  
provide some transparency as the Mylar team does.

So the though was that we would have a calendar on Google where  
everyone on the PMC has access to the schedule (as it's a PMC person  
who has to do a release) and I'll start the by putting in the Maven  
releases. I planned 4 weeks between the last releases and it ended up  
being 6 so I'll shoot for that again, but even if we're off a bit it  
keeps the users informed and they will have a single place to look  
for planned releases dates.

I would like to set this up asap.

Re: Creating a schedule for releases

After trying to schedule some stuff I noticed without different  
calendars the colour of everything is the same so I created separate  
calendars for the sub-projects and another for plugins so that folks  
can visually distinguish the releases.
