Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Simultaneous release cadence change after

["Daniel Megert" <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse top-level
project will not deliver full milestones as outlined below as this would
be way too much overhead for the team.

We will only submit
the bits (latest I-build) to week 3 and 9. For those we will neither have
a milestone week nor do any testing nor provide an N&N. For week 6
we will deliver a complete milestone as we used to in the old world.

And a minor correction:"The releases will occur end of ..." is
wrong. Correct is what's in the FAQ: "The releases will occur near
the middle of ...".

Simultaneous release cadence change        after
Photon

Hi,

The planning council has decided to change the simultaneous release 
cadence after Photon to give up with the year long ramp-up to the 
release for a rolling release.

After Photon, we will move from a 1 year release cycle to a 13 weeks 
cycle. The releases will occur end of June, September, December and 
March each year.

There are many different motivations to update the release cadence. The
main ones are:
* Ease the update from one release to another for the end user
* Let developers provide new features faster to their users
* Simplify the maintenance by keeping only one stream for contributors

The release cycle would be :
M1 Friday    Week 3
M2 Friday    Week 6
M3 Friday    Week 9
RC1 Friday   Week 10 : API & Feature freeze
RC2 Friday   Week 11 : Only fixes, all code is done by the end of
RC2
GA Wednesday Week 13

Due to this rolling release, our yearly code name pattern does not make
sense anymore. This is still under discussion a bugzilla is open to 
continue the discussion on this topic:

A FAQ is available on the wiki to answer the most common questions about
this new cycle :
