Luca, I don’t think we want to tie our next release to the graduation, as we might want to release incremental improvements to our builds/pipelines/processes first…
I’m not exactly sure how the graduation process works, but if I were to guess I think having a well rounded release process is kind of a requirement, showing the IPMC and the community we can maintain a good pace. With the thread Toshyia started about documentation/websites I believe those two areas should be the focus for a 10.1.0 release, then one or two more minor releases with nice release notes, migration guides etc I think would put ourselves in a good place for becoming a TLP, provided, of course, we solve all legal issues too. Having said that, we currently don’t have a place/strategy to scope a next release, and we’re mostly just “moving forward”. I’m not sure what’s the best way to do that, though, but probably via labels in the issues themselves? Maintaining a GitHub board has proven to be very challenging in my experience, especially in a de-centralized “work environment” such as the one we currently have. Maybe we could try and define high-level “must-haves” for each of the next releases, while we keep the rest of contributions free flowing not to limit our experimentation and innovation nature. This would reduce the “project management” work as we wouldn’t be mapping the entire scope of a release before-hand, while also having meaningful goals set for each release we do.
