Based on the feedback from the Release Engineering Meeting on Monday I have made the following tweaks to the schedule:
o Added earlier blocker review days (f13) o Changed usage of "Release Candidate" (f13)
I don't think this is right. You've now moved the RC compose a week later from where it was before.
Bill
I haven't moved anything, I just changed the names.
Please tell me what the correct "compose RC date" is. Thinking about it a little more I'm still not clear on our methodology. We need a few specific dates that fit to get the time frame correct:
1) Date blocker list must be clear or slip the release 2) Date build RC (same day or day after #1) 3) <input from QA on how many days to test the RC w/ allowance for finding problems in RC>
Note that #3 must be done by Thursday 2009-10-29 to start staging the content to the mirrors for GA on 2009-11-03.
We also need to decide now what our contingency plan and schedule consequences will be if the blocker list is not clear for #1.
When is the meeting between Releng and QA to review the schedule? I'd like to be there.
Thanks, John
