WTP 2.0 Ramp down Plan for Europa

Ramp down for Europa

For reference, see the Europa Simultaneous Release, in particular the Milestones and Release Candidates

From M6 to RC1 on May 18th, we expect each component lead (or delegate) to review and verify their teams' bugs.

After the first RC is produced, other RCs will be produced, if needed, every week.

After the first RC is produced, the time for general improvements is long past. The following describes the types of bugs that would be appropriate:

• A regression
• A P1 or P2 bug, one that is blocking or critical, and some cases of major severities.
• And, besides the above, there should be a simple, safe, well understood fix that is well isolated from effecting other components, that has been well reviewed and well tested.
• As each week passes, the criteria for weighing the benefit-to-risk ratio criteria gets higher and higher, and as such requires a larger number of PMC members to review.
• May 18th, RC 1 produced

After the 18th, besides the normal component team review, at least 1 PMC member must also review and vote +1 after reviewing the bug for appropriateness and risk.

• May 25
• June 1

After June 1, besides the normal component team review, at least 2 PMC members must also review and vote +1 after reviewing the bug for appropriateness and risk.

• June 8
• June 15

After the 15th, besides the normal component team review, at least 3 PMC member must also review and vote +1 after reviewing the bug for appropriateness and risk.
