Planning Council Minutes 2007.11.06

Europa Fall and Winter Maintenance
We began with a discussion of the Europa maintenance releases. We discussed various options for sign-offs, voting, etc. and in the end decided that the Europa Fall Maintenance Release issues were a one-off problem and were not likely to reoccur. Thus we settled on Nick's suggested dates but chose not to implement the sign-off table. See Europa#Coordinated_Maintenance proposals. We did agree that if we send emails about Europa build problems, cross-projects bugs, etc., we should use the "URGENT" label in the title to get through certain people's almost infinite inboxes.
Define the Ganymede Musts and Shoulds Rules
We discussed the defined the must-dos and should-dos. See Ganymede Simultaneous Release.
Set Ganymede Milestone Dates
Discussed and set the dates. Added a +3 stage. Agreed to include the EPP packages as part of the Ganymatic so that they are always available and thus we do not need an extra step to create them. We chose not to incorporate voting or sign-offs and instead continue to rely on date-based builds. For details, seeGanymede Simultaneous Release.
