It's that time of year again - time to get our IP in order and prepare docuware (slides) for the release review, scheduled for June 10. Component leads, it would be great if you could have your component-specific decks ready by the end of next week, i.e. May 22. That should give the team enough time to review them in time for the deadline of May 29 (see below for details). Note that each component (OCL, UML2, UML2 Tools, and XSD) must provide a separate slide deck for this review (see the note below). To see what was prepared last year, check out the attachment to this message from the mailing list archive:

*May 29*: Deadline for IP team to review all Galileo CQs
* The IP Team
has committed to completing the reviews of all CQs for Galileo by May
29th.
* Please respond
as quickly as possible to questions from the IP Team
concerning your CQs to ensure timely processing.
*May 29*: Deadline for submitting review docuware
* We understand
that the results from the IP reviews may change the contents of
your docuware. If you need an extension, please let emo@xxxxxxxxxxx know.
* If you can
complete and submit your docuware ahead of the deadline,
please do so. This will give the EMO time to review it.
* If you need
help assembling your review docuware, please contact your PMC or emo@xxxxxxxxxxx.
* Projects are encouraged
to make sure that their project metadata is up-to-date
in the portal [1].
*June 3*: Deadline for submitting IP Log
* In order to
provide projects with time required to put the finishing
touches on their IP logs, we've set the deadline for the IP Logs to be
three business days after the CQ deadline, and one week before
the release review date.
* Again, we ask
that those project that are able to submit their IP Logs in
advance of the deadline to please do so.
* Please ensure
that your project's IP Log is properly recorded in the portal
[1].
* Any projects
that wish to use the Automated IP Log Tool [2] are encouraged to
do so. If you want/need assistance with the tool, please contact
emo@xxxxxxxxxxx.
*June 10*: Review date
* Standard
practice is to hold a review call only when requested. Regardless of
this, we're going to hold the review call anyway. Please plan to
attend. Anne will send out the details.
* The review
call will be for Q&A only. Everybody please review the slides in
advance of the call and come prepared with your questions.
*Docuware*
Every project/component needs to send in a separate slide
deck (if you have a separate ".build" file in the
/org.eclipse.galileo.build/ project [3], then your project is considered to be
a separate project/component). We also ask that you provide an additional
"mini-deck" of three to four slides with an overview of your project.
We will combine the mini-decks into an overview section of the Ganymede Release
slide deck. We will archive the "normal" slide deck you send as your
project-specific Ganymede release docuware, as well as include it in the
Ganymede Release slide deck that is used for the review call.
The due date for the slide decks is Friday, May 29. You
are welcome and encouraged to send them in earlier! Please include both the
source file (such as PPT, or ODP) and a PDF version of the slides.
