| [cross-project-issues-dev] Simultaneous release participation |
|
Greetings folks! The list of projects participating in the Juno release is here [1]. Note that only projects that have flipped the "juno" bit in the simultaneous release field in the project metadata are shown. If your project is participating, you need to flip the bit (see Bug 365738 [0] for a discussion on whether we should just make last year's projects automatically in this year's release). If you've entered a release in your project metadata on the June 27/2012 release date, then that release number is also shown (note that an entry will appear for each release you specify; e.g. the Eclipse Project). Note that only the "main" projects participating in the release are listed here. If your project participates in the release as a nested project under a parent, then it doesn't appear on this page. It will, however, appear on the "descriptions" page [2]. Note that the descriptions page looks a lot cooler (and is generally more useful to the user/analyst/press community) if your project has a description [3]. For the release, I expect to receive a single IP log for each "main" project (that includes any nested subprojects) and a single release review document (that also includes information for all nested projects). Note that projects are not strictly required to release with their participating parent; if it makes sense to you and your community for the project to release separately from the parent project, go for it. You are required to provide a project plan (please include a link to the project plan in the release record in the project metadata). If you need help getting this stuff sorted out, ask. I think that I do a generally good job of being helpful. As we get closer to the release date, you should also consider adding a link to a "new and noteworthy" document on the release record. I'll update the project list page to include a link to these documents if they're present. FWIW, I have some ideas to make maintaining releases and the project plan a lot easier with the new project management infrastructure [4].
