How did the Mirabelle release cycle go? We're gearing up for making v4, and want to know what went well and what could have been better - everything from technical to deployment to documentation to process sustainability to... well, really, everything!
Our next weekly meeting (Monday May 31, 1900 UTC in #sugar-meeting on irc.freenode.net) will be about exactly that. We announced this date several weeks back, but now that the release is out and the meeting date near, it's time for a reminder.
If you can't make the meeting, no worries (especially since Monday is a holiday in the US). This meeting is intended to get as much feedback out at one time as possible; release planning for v4 is a separate meeting (June 7th, again at 1900 UTC) that will take the feedback from this release review into account." Anything sent in before that meeting will be considered during the initial v4 planning session.
if you can't make the meeting (or even if you can) and have thoughts or suggestions you'd like to share, please send them to soas@lists.sugarlabs.org or add them directly to the agenda, http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick_meetings#Agenda (which includes links to the email feedback I've seen so far). Note that you need to be a member of the soas list to post to it, so if you aren't subscribed, feel free to email it just to me with a request to forward to the list, and I'll do so. I'm only gathering feedback that appears on the soas list, though, in order to preserve my sanity - so if you reply to any of the other lists, we may not see it in time.
The three questions to answer:
1. What went well with Mirabelle? 2. What didn't? 3. How would you change things?
And then, of course, whatever else you'd like to write.

Reminder: This meeting is tomorrow! (Or depending on your timezone, today.) Monday, May 31, 1900 UTC in #sugar-meeting. Send notes and comments if you can't make it, but we hope to see you there!
