Release Management needs the list of the the blueprints that will be delivered this month. For each bp, they want a Headline and Acceptance criteria. The Headline is a statement to include in the Monthly release announcement. The acceptance criteria is a statement how to verify the work is done.
I have collected this month's blueprints in the spreadsheet, please review it for accuracy. If a blueprint you are working on is missing, please add it.
The Headline and Acceptance can be added into the whiteboard as follows: Headline: headline text
Acceptance: acceptance text
Once you add the the headline and acceptance, please modify the spreadsheet to reflect that it is done. https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoZqvK7R1biJdGxScl...
So I'm not sure I'm following this new procedure.
So for existing blueprints, you want a headline/acceptance line for each month's release?
So you're looking for something like: ... Work items for 11.09: Headline: Released updated linaro-android kernel for 11.09 and researched earlysuspend requirements for omap3 Acceptance: When Linaro-Android 11.09 kernel is available. [jstultz] Research whats needed for enabling EARLYSUSPEND on omap3: TODO [jstultz] Generate & release 11.09 initial 3.0 linaro-android merge tree: TODO [jstultz] Generate & release 11.09 freeze 3.0 linaro-android merge tree: TODO [jstultz] Generate & release 11.09 final 3.0 linaro-android merge tree: TODO
Work items for 11.10: ...
Is that right?
Further questions: o How do we describe work done in a month that might arrive in a following month? It seems confusing as the acceptance criteria might be for work from a previous month. Or you might not match the acceptance criteria within the month (ie: when items slip out to the next month).
o What is the acceptance criteria actually used for? I get headline will be sent out with the release announcement, but its unclear who vets that the acceptance criteria is met, and what that means for the release.
