community structure (RMaint, translation manager, QA manager...)
Hi, Back from my august vacation, it seems that we have reach the 3.0 official release, and that's good to see. IMO, the next step is to organize the next months team we need a 3.2 Release Manager, and we have one candidate (galen, LibLime). we need a Release Maintainer, and we have 2 candidates (hdl, BibLibre & kados/joshua, LibLime) we need a Translation Manager, and we have 1 candidate (chris C., Catalyst) we need a QA manager and we had some thoughts about that on irc, although no decision afaik. we need a Doc manager, and we have one candidate (nicole, LibLime). Previously, we always have choosen the guys (sorry Nicole, you're the 1st woman in the game on this matter ;-) ) by IRC general applause (ie: no formal vote, but an evidency that the candidate is the best we will have). We always have had only 1 candidate, except once, for 3.0 RM, were we had joshua & Pierrick. (Seems we had choosen the good guy as Pierrick/Ineo disappeared some time after ;-) ) So : - What about having an IRC meeting to nominate officially all Koha positions ? and announce them everywhere. - What about 3.0RMaint ? hdl is still candidate & will devote some time on that specifically (with BibLibre growing, things should be better for him). Looking at recent head commits, some are bugfixes that should be cherry picked to 3.0 branch. The plan, if he is accepted as RMaint, is to release a version once every 3 months (except if there is a blocking bugfix : "immediate" release in this case) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc NOUVEAU TELEPHONE : 04 91 81 35 08

Good idea. I suggest Thursday, 11 September or Friday, 12 September at 19:00 UTC to give us a fighting chance to have all of the current candidates awake simultaneously. To propose an agenda: 1. Confirm 3.2 RM, DocM, and TM ("speak now, or forever hold your peace") 2. Decide on 3.0 RMaint. 3. Discuss options for filling the position of 3.2 QA. 4. Discuss features for 3.2. I will finish sending out LibLime's RFCs and propose a roadmap by next Thursday.

Do you want to add Kaitaiki to the list of positions? Is there anyone who'd like to take it on? Cheers Rachel

Based on past discussions there doesn't seem to be any concensus on what exactly a Kaitaiki is, specifically what the role accomplishes, whether it's strictly promotional in nature, or managerial, etc. Also, since we haven't had an active Kaitaiki for many years, and it doesn't seem like a position we actually need. I don't see any other open source projects that have Kaitaikii (plural? ;-)).

Hi to all, looking to git web site of Koha I see the link http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=shortlog;h=3.0.x Is it the correct place to see on the web the patches commited for the stable branch (3.0.x) ? Untin now, no patch was commited for the stable branch, as I see. Is it so ? Thank you very much for everything. Cheers Zeno Tajoli
