Hi, The current list of candidates for project roles can be found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_3.18 We have candidates for all major project positions with the exception of release maintainers for 3.12.x and 3.10.x. I encourage folks to step up to run for RMaint, particularly for 3.12.x, but we should also discuss what the community support policy for older releases should be. For example, we could choose to support the most recent X stable release branches, or we could decide that we want to support Y years back, although given our release schedule either approach would work out to the same outcome depending on how far back we want to go. We should also consider what "support" means, particularly for the older branches. Several things that could be included in a definition are: - Having a release maintainer actively pushing bugfixes. This is a sine qua non, in my opinion. - General community willingness to respond to questions and bug reports with an answer that goes beyond "please upgrade to the latest stable branch" - Building release tarballs monthly (or maybe less frequently for older branches) - Building Debian packages - Willingness to do security releases Related, the next development meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 23 April 2014, as a two part meeting at 15:00 UTC and 22:00 UTC. Voting on the project roles will be on the agenda for that meeting.
