BTW, when I say release every 6 months, I mean minor release where we are allowed to add functionality and APIs.

Hey gang,

I’m just looking ahead on how to manage releases for the next while and would like your thoughts on it.

I have always thought releasing every three months just didn’t give us enough time to get the job done right, especially over the summer months. I think our Oxygen plan where we skipped Neon.3 really helped us focus.

As a result, I’d like us to continue with a 6 month release cycle. That would make 9.4 in December for Oxygen.2, and 9.5 for Photon next June and so on.

We can do maintenance releases any time and it probably makes sense to at least do ones for the .1 and .3 Eclipse releases.

Thoughts?

Doug.
