Hi,
Throughout Linaro we are looking at ways to better coordinate the deliverables that come from Linaro's Working Groups and Platform teams. The idea of Monthly Component releases, a fixed date in the month where each team would release their latest work fits well with what we do and to that end a wiki page proposing the exact dates has been produced at:
It makes sense and I like the concept.
Will there be some method for groups to state their goals for what they plan to contribute to various releases? Wiki page? Blueprint? Something else?
You will notice that the dates are fixed, always the third Thursday in the month promoting a unified consistency across the teams. Please note that the Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds do not follow this schedule and will continue to be closely coupled with the Ubuntu schedule.
Please take a look at the dates and highlight any problems that could arise from them. If there is positive feedback we can make these dates 'official' very soon meaning teams could start using this format next month.
I think this is a good idea. It gives individuals and teams something to drive towards.
I imagine that as new things are thrown into the pot in anticipation of these dates it might also cause some "chaos" around these days but I view that as a positive side effect. Integration bugs happen.
