Overview
The development of Golo 3.0.0 directly follows release 2.1.0, the last release that was made under the stewardship of INSA-Lyon before entering incubation at the Eclipse Foundation.
The plan is to coordinate Golo 3.0.0 with a project graduation review.
The march towards completion of Golo 3.0.0 will proceed with the publication of a yet undetermined number of milestones. Note that due to the project being incubating, we cannot call these releases, just milestones.
Milestones
We adopt a 6 weeks fixed schedule between milestones. The planning of milestones is organic.
