[Koha-devel] community structure (RMaint, translation manager, QA manager...)

[Paul POULAIN]

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)
