[sakai-pmc] [cle-release-team] Sakai 2.10 schedule - strawperson

[Neal Caidin]

How does this relate to the 2.9/2.10 list of planned issues plus discussion at Open Apereo figure into this, if at all?  We've had some email discussion on most (not all) of these items, but not sure if we just move forward or something definitive needs to come out of it. 

Dashboard

LinkTool  ( believe Anthony will be proposing to decommission this for 2.10 )

Yale Signup Contrib

News vs News Feed vs Swinsburg portal solution - https://wiki.jasig.org/display/PLT/Simple+RSS+Portlet?desktop=true

Roster2 vs Roster

Portal Chat on by default

Spring Annotations ( saw positive support for this and no objections on email thread)

and maybe a couple of more…

Thanks,
Neal

Some of these will require manual conflict resolution to update from older patch code so will take awhile. The actual feature merge work should be done by the end of October which would be the true feature freeze. Then after all outstanding blockers are resolved we can cut the branch and the first alpha by mid-late November. It should be done prior to Thanksgiving as has been stated in the past, so by Friday November 22.

The Alpha process is mostly waiting for translation to complete and resolving issues found in QA so it could be variable but I don't anticipate any seriously time consuming issues. With the unconference at the end of January, I'd put Beta 01 in early February rather than early March, with the presumption that at least a few people who can work on the release will be present and working to finish out whatever is needed for Beta at the unconference. That could bump the other dates up by a month which would be ideal, given the date of the Juneconference, and the 6 month release schedule of the 2.8 release which was a more typical schedule than 2.9.

Also, we will have the Apereo Conference in June 2014, which might slow things down a tad. If I try working backwards from a May 15 date for a release, it just doesn't add up.
