| | |
| == Purpose ==
| |
| The purpose of the KDE Release Team is to define and execute the official software releases of KDE.
| |
| | |
| The Release Team is responsible for setting release schedules for the official KDE releases. This includes release dates, deadlines for individual release steps and restrictions for code changes.
| |
| | |
| The Release Team coordinates release dates with the marketing and press efforts of KDE.
| |
| | |
| == Members ==
| |
| The Release Team is composed of Module Coordinators, Marketing Team liaison (Jos Poortvliet), and the people who actually do the work of tagging and creating the releases (aacid, tnyblom, winterz).
| |
| | |
| As is our tradition, decision making is an open and public process and we welcome input from all concerned parties, including our partners, the packagers, and the distros.
| |
| | |
| == Contact ==
| |
| Please contact the Release Team by [mailto:[email protected] email] or join our public [https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team mailing list]. The release-team mailinglist is moderated by Richard Moore (IRC: richmoore) and Dirk Müller (IRC: dirk). They will (need to) approve email sent by people not subscribed. In case they miss something (which can always happen as we're all busy people), please ping them on IRC. | |
| | |
| == Activities ==
| |
| * Make sure KDE is in a releasable state when we release it (this depends of course on the individual modules)
| |
| * Plan and communicate when KDE releases happen, and intermediate steps to get there (betas, rcs, code freeze and unfreezes)
| |
| * Providing packagers with sufficient information to package and ship KDE (information about dependencies, for example)
| |
| * Decide on exemptions for the code freezes (often boils down to granting it if the translation team OKs it)
| |
| * Collecting the set of features for the next release
| |
| * Take the final decision if a feature enters the release, or not
| |
| | |
| == The Release Process ==
| |
| | |
| * [[Projects/Release_Team/Release_Process_Responsibilities | Release Process Responsibilities]]
| |
| * The old [[Projects/Release_Team/Release_Process | Release Process]] page
| |
| | |
| == Module Coordinators ==
| |
| === Functions ===
| |
| Module coordinators perform the following duties:
| |
| * primary point of contact for the Release Team concerning issues with the module
| |
| * help determine release schedules
| |
| * communicate release schedules with the module developers
| |
| * provide feedback from developers to the Release Team
| |
| * review new applications for inclusion in the module
| |
| * review old, unmaintained applications for removal from the modules and help find new maintainers
| |
| * review external dependencies for the module
| |
| * help set and review goals for major and feature releases
| |
| * help with release preparation (eg. update application version numbers)
