2014.0/Release plan
From Wiki [en] OpenMandriva
Basic rules
Some simple rules to follow:
- Releases should happen on fridays – this may sound a little bit odd but good things starts on
weekend :)
- No serious software breakages - this release needs to be done smooth and quickly
- Follow rule "if you break, you fix it or revert to working EVRD"
- Before release day on TC meeting (tuesday preferred) each TC member express each own point on
GnG situation
- Final GnG decision is for QA
- Release manager should keep dates
- Each release we need to have a good press announcement on all available media, like own site, own
social channels (fb, twitter, others), other main *NIX related sites (distrowatch, phoronix, others), as much as possible is more than welcome :)
