2.6 Release Planning-5 (20081113)

Time / Date 

Attendees: Pete Peterson, Megan May, Stephen Marquard, David Haines, Jean-François Lévêque (UPMC), Anthony Whyte, Sean Keesler, Earl, Adam


Pete Peterson introduction - Pete
Scribe volunteers - Pete

Megan was silly enough to volunteer today. Pete will circulate an on-list proposal for this.

K-names - M^3

Not sure what the 'k' stands for. In essence these are nicknames - Pete Peterson is P Squared. If you have a pref let him know, otherwise you may find you will have a new one.

QA-WG Confluence changes - Pete and Megan

Peter, Megan and Pete discussed making changes to the confluence space as there has been a lot of sprawl and information is hard to find. Some pages will be archived. If something you use frequently is gone, give Pete a hollar.

Next tag - Pete and Megan

Tagging hasn't been progressing like it should. We do need to do another kernel release but it likely won't be ready this week. We'll aim for that next week and proceed with a tag this week to pick up fixes. Megan will merge in a few stragglers (David is on vacay and Stephen won't have the time) and coordinate with Anthony

2.6 QA update - Megan
Kernel 2 update - Anthony

Anthony gave a brief update and said he didn't have commit rights to proceed with some of the work. He'll be looking at getting those to speed some of this up.

QA Q&A - All
  • There is DB2 work going in. Stephen asked how we were going to test this as he wasn't aware of a test server. Marist is working on setting these up (for Websphere & DB2).
  • Selenium - Sean talked about doing some work for this with OSP since the setup of sites is usually a hindrance for getting folks involved. Wasn't sure about documentation. We talked about the doc that Corey put up and mentioned that John Bush had also put up further documentation. Entire group was interested in pursuing this avenue and Pete will pull together documentation.

  • looks like tagging won't happen
