[sakai2-tcc] Proposal: release Sakai 2.9.0 on Friday, November 9 barring any new blockers (Voting now open)

[Steve Swinsburg]

+1 but I think we need 2.9.1 out ASAP, like Aaron mentioned.

It would be nice to really 'release early, release often' and have more than one or two maintenance releases of 2.9.

Re this:
> Also the actual release process (from branch management, to cutting releases) is almost entirely just Sam and myself which is far from ideal. In the past, Anthony helped out significantly with this, and ideally Neal would be able to assist, but it still feels like this *could* be a few months from happening. I'm planning on spending a day or two in North Carolina next week with Neal and Aaron to start on some of the more technical aspects of the release process. These were the 3-6 month goals the TCC initially set out in the CLECC onboarding.


Could we discuss those on list before anything is implemented? I think we rushed though parts of the changes for 2.9 which ended up causing some problems early on. It could be streamlined, definitely.

cheers,
Steve

It looks a lot better than the last time I looked at it though.
