Hi all,
first off, sorry for the late bad habit of cross positing to the two
communities :-p
We already discussed the idea of using a time boxed model for relases in
the two communities some time ago with general positive feedback.
I've prepared a formal proposal for it here:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+77+-+Time+boxed+release+model
The proposal is hosted on the GeoServer wiki and uses the GeoServer GSIP
format, but it's really meant to be discussed and voted by the two communities
togheter.
Since we're talking about releases (which are often synchronized)
and code stability, it cannot be any other way (well, unless GeoServer
stops using geotools snapshots, but that would have ugly consequences
for both communities).
There are cerntainly points that need more discussion, I especially
invite you to have a look at the commit guidelines, of what can be done where,
and to improve the GSIP until it satisfied everyone's need.
Cheers
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
the GSIP plus what came out from the gs/gt meeting looks good to me, I don’t have much to add, this is a very good proposal.
Two things:
-
Fully agree with the wiki page listing the available resources for the release; I guess should be one or two responsible of collecting volunteers and updating the wiki though.
In this same page I woul highlight that the stable branches are not necessairly maintained, and eventually if someone wants to maintain a branch, report the name into the wiki as reference.
-
I can volunteer to help writing the documentation for the release process using the Justin scripts
Regards,
Alessio.

Great proposal Andrea, looking forward to getting this rolling. +1 with a few comments.
-
If we find that the 1 month release frequency is a bit much, due to resourcing constraints, or whatever, we might consider to reduce the cycle back to a release very 2 months.
-
We should capture this in the developer guide.
