Release dates
Proposed target week of November 12-16, 2018
Discussion from Brad on release schedule being too close to Yocto release to allow for other downstream components to adopt the 2.6 release and still have time to test
Proposed to move farther after Yocto and to fall after the end of year holidays
Agreement: The first release will be in the week of January 21-25, 2019
Agreement: The second release will be July 15-19, 2019
Agreement: The release dates will follow every 6 months, 3 months after Yocto
Release version numbering
Proposed OpenBMC 3.0
Brad pointed out the mapping of our release with the yocto release will be painful
Agreement: Follow Yocto release numbering, including fix builds
Agreement: OpenBMC specific build fixes will affix additional fix numbering
Major.Minor.Fix.obmc-build
For example: 2.6.4.obmc-2
Backlog: Should we follow the Yocto codenames? Tabled for the next meeting
Milestones, how many and when
Discussion on what milestones and why they were useful, tracking progress
Proposed: WG formation, design, code 1, code2,...codeX, code freeze, release
Discussion around what was needed in each milestone and exit criteria
Discussion around what would happen if a feature didn’t make a milestone
Backlog: Topic tabled for next meeting in order to get to work item discussion
Prioritized work items from each company
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lts-YX8J_AnS2dKfhW649OQHijz-JRiJWHTDpKY62Hk/edit#gid=0
Homework will be for each company to fill in table based on Must, Want, Nice
Must = must be in this release cycle
Want = needed feature, but lower priority, could be in the next release with some pain
Nice = needed feature, not important to complete this release
Backlog: Complete table, agree on top deliverables, assign leads
Next meeting
Agreement: Next meeting July 12th due to US holiday
