[sakai-pmc] [cle-release-team] Summary of today's Sakai Release team meeting

[Neal Caidin]

Thanks Max.

Yes, I'm happy to hear that Earle from AsahiNet is volunteering since he 
is very well tied into the Sakai release team. Please let me know if NYU 
is able to contribute and we'll see if it is a good fit and work out the 
details.

Cheers,
Neal

> Hi Max,
>
> One of the experienced branch managers gave me this information:
>
> Branch Manager (minimal requirements)
> - Use jira (and occasionally email/skype) to verify which issues are 
> necessary and appropriate to merge to the Maintenance Branch.
> - Merge the issue. (If the merge isn't clean, contact the CLE Team for 
> assistance.)
> - Set the Maintenance Branch's status field to "Resolved" and set the 
> Fix Version to the appropriate maintenance branch version.
>
> Requires knowledge of jira, subversion. Ideally can perform minor 
> conflict resolution. Also ideally can attend the Thursday release call.
>
> Average probably about 4 hours a week. (About 5 minutes per issue)
>
>
> -- I am guessing we could also provide mentorship for this role, 
> though would want to confirm that before making any commitment :-) .
> If you need more technical details or requirements we could probably 
> drill down a little. For example, merging issues implicitly means that 
> a strong command of Subversion (svn) and access to our subversion 
> repository is required. Not everyone is granted access to the 
> subversion repository but if you could have a good candidate, we would 
> look into it, of course. :-)

> Thanks!
