#jenkins: March 2nd Governance Meeting

Meeting started by rtyler at 19:02:11 UTC (full logs).

Meeting summary

  1. Discuss what updates should be made to Copyright on source code (rtyler, 19:02:27)
    1. http://meetbot.debian.net/Manual.html (rtyler, 19:02:42)
    2. First of all, agendas will be up at http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Governance+Meeting+Agenda - feel free to add items to future agendas. (abayer, 19:02:53)
    3. http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Copyright+on+source+code is our current info. (abayer, 19:04:26)
    4. IDEA: Provide a link the the Apache CLA on the Copyright wiki so people can see where we're going (hare_brain, 19:06:48)
    5. ACTION: hare_brain to update the copyright wiki entry with the above. =) (abayer, 19:07:20)
    6. IDEA: should we say we highly recommend adding <license> in POM? (kohsuke2, 19:13:04)
    7. https://github.com/hudson/hudson/commit/1fade2d2567831c1c7e6d0ef602903e424fbf44a#diff-10 (fcamblor, 19:17:00)

  2. the stable-branch/endorsed-release discussion (rtyler, 19:18:05)
    1. The model behind "older but stable" was that I picked a bit old but stable-looking release in retrospect (kohsuke2, 19:21:42)
    2. IDEA: Every X weeks, the core devs vote as to whether to promote a release from a few weeks earlier to be the new "stable" release. (abayer, 19:22:11)
    3. so sounds like a consensus is around voting/blessing a release as stable, then produce patch releases only with important bug fixes (kohsuke2, 19:32:34)
    4. we are also mindful that we aren't entirely sure how much work this entails (kohsuke2, 19:33:17)
    5. IDEA: Every…3? months, community/devs bless a 2+ month old release as the "known quantity" release. Until the next "known quantity" release, it'll be possible for absolutely critical bug fixes to core to be backported and a new version of the known quantity re-released. (abayer, 19:33:40)
    6. AGREED: we'll start with 3 month cycle for stable release and see how that goes (kohsuke2, 19:36:26)
    7. ACTION: A thread on the mailing list to talk about what work will be done to get the stable release stuff in place (update center changes, qualification process, etc) (abayer, 19:37:34)
    8. IDEA: changelog entries that are marked "major bug" as candidates for backporting? (hare_brain, 19:38:20)
    9. IDEA: I think the stable release line would be good release train to tie in the "community acceptance test" effort (kohsuke2, 19:39:59)
    10. ACTION: aheritier working on proposal for actually splitting JENKINS JIRA into core/infra/plugins. (abayer, 19:42:54)

  3. Update on the long-term governance plans / progress on umbrella organisation (kohsuke2, 19:46:30)
