[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Call for nominations for release manager — Evergreen 3.0

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

It is fast approaching time to elect the Release Manager for the next
Evergreen release.

The Release Manager does not have to be a core committer, but does
need to be familiar with Git and have already contributed
substantially to the Evergreen project whether it be code or
documentation.

Nominations (including self-nominations) are due by 11:59 PM EDT on
Friday, 24 March 2017. Nominations should be made by email to
open-ils-dev at list.georgialibraries.org with a Cc: to
open-ils-general at list.georgialibraries.org. Replying to all on this
email will also work.

Nominees should send an email to both of the above mailing lists a
statement about their relationship to the Evergreen community and
their goals for the next release. The elected release manager will be
expected to adhere to the established schedule for the release
milestones.

As was discussed during the Hack-a-way in the fall, the current plan
is for the next release to be 3.0 and mark the beginning of community
support for production use of the web staff client.

The election will be held in the Evergreen IRC channel on freenode.net
during the week of 27 March. Here is a Doodle poll to set a specific
date and time:

Please note that, per yesterday's development meeting, this time
around we are intentionally doing it before the Evergreen Conference
to reduce the lag between the release of 2.12.0 and any any inhibition
about merging to master for lack of a release manager.

Everyone is invited to participate in the voting. Evergreen core
committers who cannot make the meeting may submit their vote via email
to the open-ils-dev mailing list.

Regards,

Galen
