Hi all,
We need to define the deadlines for the next releases.
During 2015, we were doing a release every 4 months.
If we keep the same pace, the next releases would be:
2.3: end of March
2.4: end of July
2.5: end of November
However, things move fast and it may be a bit long to wait 4 months for
a feature. That's why I suggest to progressively shorten release terms:
2.3: end of March
2.4: mid July
2.5: end of October
and continue with a release every 3 months:
2.6: end of January
2.7: end of April
2.8: end of July
This planning would preserve some of the major holiday periods
(February, May, August, December).
The first period, for the first submission of a feature, was 2 months long.
Then we had 2 other months to discuss, merge and fix.
We should shorten only the first period.
Anyway, the next deadlines should be unchanged:
- January 31: end of first submission phase
- March 31: release 2.3
Opinions are welcome.
