Yes, that is a very quick turnaround. But if we could get a faster release cycle (not THIS fast), it would be better for ROS.

A note of caution, regardless of the vote for 0.3.15, it is entirely possible, even likely from the perspective of several of us, that the state of ROS trunk will preclude the ability to roll out a 0.3.15. We're talking about a 3 week, more likely 2 week, turnaround, which is absurdly if we wanted to do genuine regression testing and fixing.

Good! Let's proceed with 0.3.15... a faster release cycle is better, and will help interest in ROS as people will be able to see clearly that progress is being made (as opposed to appearing to be stagnant to those who do not look at trunk). Plus, I want a "stable" release to try some new features ;P

February 2012 Meeting Minutes
2012-02-23 19:45 UTC Fezile, #meeting
Proceedings
Meeting started at 19:45 UTC by Aleksey Bragin.
Point 1: Release status: 0.3.15
- Aleksey Bragin proposed that we prepare trunk and release 0.3.15, as it is
now, before anything major happens. Several members then wondered about the status of USB and the "mshtml bug". Jerome Gardou explained a bit about how the mshtml bug is far from completely being fixed, because if you look at testbot's results, there are still some problems with ASSERTs hit and some bad pagefaults happening when paging out.
- A lengthy discussion occurred, about how ready trunk is, whether it's in a
better state than 0.3.14, the state of the theme to be bundled with ros, the plan for CLT, whether we should go 0.4<something> or 0.3.15... This was settled through a voting: "Do you agree to release 0.3.15 with current trunk features, before CLT?".
- The total number of votes was 21, with 11 votes as Yes, 5 as No, and 5
abstentions. As a result, we will be having a 0.3.15 release with CLT being the deadline.
- Point 2: New website status and migration plans
- Amine Khaldi gave a quick summary on the state of the website revamp:
- Quite some progress has been made in the theming department, and it's visible from the playground. It's starting to look a lot like the current one, which means it's almost done (only some issues are left). - Maciej Bialas has been investigating how to import users from the RosCMS. We will most likely need to compromise: members will have to reenter passwords when we migrate, but we'll see. - Amine Khaldi then mentioned that we need help from web devs familiar with Drupal. Alexander Rechitskiy mentioned that he has a guy that wants to be part of the web team, and he passes his info to Amine to establish the contact. - He also mentioned that Maciej is very busy, so the progress will slow down, and that the current short term plan is to continue the theming work, provide a way to import users, import the rest of data from wiki/bugzilla...etc and finally add the phpbb bridge.
- He then summarized the summary by saying: We needs skillful drupal guys,
we're almost there, and that's it.
- Point 3: CMake migration and finally abandoning RBuild
- Amine Khaldi suggested that it's time to ditch rbuild, as he suspects most
of our members have migrated already. Agreement on that, from ours members, was unprecedented as *everyone* were on favor of this :)
- We agreed on doing the necessary commits/infrastructure changes ASAP, ie
"tonight" (relative to the meeting of course), but that didn't happen just yet so it's just a matter of time. Amine Khaldi wants to do the honors (the commit that will remove rbuild and its related files).
- Amine Khaldi also mentioned that he's preparing a nice little surprise for
major build performance boost, on many levels, so stay tuned guys ;)
- Jerome Gardou explained that he'll be handling the PCH support to get it
to a much better state than it is right now.
- Point 4: Added per Amine Khaldi's request: GSoC preparations
- Amine Khaldi explained that he created a Google Doc and invited the
interested members. He asked the members to collaborate and shape up an excellent ideas list, projects that fit in GSoC at both the time and complexity levels.
- Colin suggested building up on the last year in terms of informative
content (wiki pages from last year), covering questions about how we deal with students, our application form... etc.
- Meeting closed at 21:45 UTC by Aleksey Bragin.
- Minutes written by Amine Khaldi.
