Launchpad Signoffs and Organizational Affiliations
by Jason Stephenson 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Hello, all. I have seen a couple of bugs on Launchpad lately with comments to the effect of "I'm from the contributor's org, so I can't give an official sign-off." Yes, you can give an official signoff on work done by someone else at your organization and for work that your organization has paid for. There's an understanding in the community that we all contribute as individuals and not as institutions, so it's perfectly fine to signoff on anyone else's work regardless of where they work. You might impose such a limit on yourself, but that's entirely up to you. No one from the community is policing that. I just wanted to clear up any lingering misunderstanding of the "rules."

Evergreen 3.15-beta is AVAILABLE!
by Ruth Davis 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Hello all, On behalf of the 3.15 release team, I am particularly pleased to announce that Evergreen 3.15-beta is available at all the usual places including, but not limited to, the https://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads/ page. Please be aware that this is a BETA version meant for testing and feedback. Wait! I hear you say "Did I hear FEEDBACK?" That's right. That's exactly what you heard/read. There is a Feedback Fest scheduled to begin on Monday, March 31 and run through Friday, April 4. Stay tuned to this listserv for more information on that from Terran McCanna in the coming days. Also, please check out the release notes for 3.15-beta. This is a very feature/fix rich release. But WAIT! There's more. The merge pause is now lifted. Go forth and commit (if you're a core committer). *Ruth Frasur Davis, Coordinator* *Evergreen Collaborative Development Initiative* https://evergreencdi.org (650) 265-1193

Mea Culpa
by Jason Stephenson 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Hi, all. I'm so sorry for pushing those commits to main, rel_3_13, and rel_3_14. I totally forgot about the commit moratorium until I got around to thinking that I also had to push it to rel_3_15. It's small, a simple rebase ought to fix it on your end. If you want, I can fix it for you, just let me know. I do think this says something about our release process taking too long. Also, if I'm totally off base here and the moratorium ended, I apologize for that, too. I'm in the middle of moving my Evergreen community email to this account so I might have missed something, but I don't think I missed a release announcement. Sorry, Jason Stephenson -- Jason Stephenson (he/him) ILS Manager, C/W MARS, Inc. ------------------------------ [image: icon] jstephenson(a)cwmars.org | [image: icon]www.cwmars.org [image: icon] 508-755-3323 x 418
