Hi friends of Modularity, as FESCo has approved [1] high level schedule for F27 Modular Server release [2], I would like to open a question of a detailed schedule for this release. Thinking of it, I do not thing we need the whole bunch of detailed schedules we use for standard release cycle [3], however there are some tasks which might still be useful. Particularly I was thinking of these tasks: = Beta & Final Freezes = Typically we use the Freeze period for "code" as well as for rel-eng tooling and infrastructure. Having the rush in Modularity on my mind, I do not thing 2 weeks of Freeze will be beneficial here. However I believe 1 week of Freeze might still be beneficial to give QA a chance to request RC on something stable in stable environment. On the other side the Freeze might clash with module mashing support in bodhi (afaik). = Artwork deadline = Is there any special artwork (wallpapers, splash screens, ...) expected to be delivered as part of the F27 Modular server release ? If so, then I would like to have some deadline when the artwork will be finished and packed to avoid misunderstanding in planning the work for Design team. = Documentation & Translations = I expect we are going to deliver a special/modified documentation for the Modular release. What are the plans for translations ? If there is a plan to have the documentation translated, we need to agree on handover of the documentation to Translation team and wrap it with some deadlines. = Web pages & Translations = And again, what are the plans for translations ? If there is a plan to have the web pages translated, we need to agree on some time period to give to Translation team and wrap it with some deadlines. = Fedora 25 EOL = There is a plan to make F25 release EOL on 2017-11-21. How we are going to deal with it ? I see 2 options: 1) make F25 EOL on 2017-11-21 2) make F25 EOL 4+ weeks after the F27 Modular Server is release (currently planned for 2017-12-26+ ) 3) Just in case anyone will ask whether we can decouple F25 Server edition support and support only this edition for another month or so, my answer is that I can not imagine how to do this and I see this as contra-productive. So, no, this is not an option. I would be happy see comments, answers and proposals on these (or other) milestones we need to have, to control the F27 Modular Server release.
