| [cdt-dev] Europa Milestones |
|
Hey gang, As a part of the Europa simultaneous release, we will be
asked to ship along with the Europa milestones. You can find out more about
Europa from the wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Europa_Simultaneous_Release. The current plan is for Europa milestones to start in sync
with the Platform 3.3 M5 milestone. Being a tier 1 project (i.e. only depend on
Platform) we would release 1 week after the Platform does. This would mean we
would need to be ready as follows: M5 – Feb 16 M6 (API Freeze) – March 30 M7/RC0 (Feature Freeze) – May 11 Final RC – June 15 GA – June 29 Now this starts pretty late, I would recommend that we also
look at releasing along with M4 + 1 week which would be Dec 22, just in time
for Christmas. Now the key to successful milestones will be to target
certain functionality for these milestones so that our user base can try out
these new features and give us feedback. We’ll need to work together to
make sure we have a good milestone plan and good quality milestones. We can talk
about how to do that at tomorrow’s CDT monthly call. Cheers, Doug Schaefer |
