Many projects have not yet announced their
intention to participate (or not) in the Oxygen
Simultaneous release.
The deadline is
approaching. For our Oxygen release, that's Friday, December 16/2016.
Part of the reason why we require that
project teams explicitly opt-in by M4 is to ensure
that project teams are paying attention to the
communication channel. It's also a quick reminder
for everybody in the community to take a quick look
at your plans to make sure that they identify
potential challenges they may face working with you.
Please take a quick look at the release
participation page [1]. Please also take a quick
look at the "details" page [2].
The details page shows the "summary" from
the description that you've provided in your release
record; this is the first place that we'll look for
ideas regarding what we'll include in our press (and
discussions with analysts) about the release. Please
try to provide a short executive
summary style paragraph at the beginning of
your description (e.g. something that I can say when
I'm taking to people about your project; it's hard
to say a list of bullets): give people a reason to
want to find out more about your project.
If your project does not appear on the
participation page, please first ensure that you've
created a release record for Oxygen (with a
reasonable description), and then send a note to
this channel with a pointer to that release record
and an indication of your project's offset in the
build. There's more information in the wiki [3]
(while you're there, please take a couple of minutes
to scan the rest of the participation requirements
document).
I did scan through the mailing list
archives, and I'm pretty sure that I've recorded all
of the announcements made there. If I've missed you,
please accept my humble apologies and then restate.
Thanks,
Wayne
