[sakai-core-team] [sakai-pmc] Sakai 11 and Unconference (not necessarily related)

[Kirschner, Beth]

I would vote on a regular, annual release. I also think that any timeline wouldn't be realistic without getting committment from people/institutions to do the work.

One is to stay on roughly a yearly schedule, which the community may expect, with the assumption that we should be able to get in some significant features, with features not making it in being targeted for a Sakai 12. The other position is that we define a Sakai 11 that is really strong, and if takes longer than a year, that's fine.

Timelines and level of resource commitment for quick fixes through the QA testing cycle are not clear to me, but if we have the will we can make it happen, I think.

Should we prioritize Morpheus up at the top and build the timeline as we learn more and more what this means (for example individual tool updates or not in scope for first release) ?  Etc.  Is this worth a PMC teleconference discussion?

To work on Sakai 11? To work on any process details that need to be ironed out for Git/ Github?  At the moment, it looks like a mid-late February date for an Apereo Unconference. Is that good timing for us?
