Greg's User Feedback URL of the Week (Spanish): http://www.mediagala.com/rap/foro/ New forum for volunteers and teachers out of Uruguay. ********************** Status of last weeks goals: 1 - Get 8.2 to manufacturing. Catch up on bug triage. GS - Done! 8.2-767 has gone to Quanta for manufacturing test. Barring any surprises 8.2.0 will be manufactured on new XOs starting Monday October 13. 2 - Finish 8.2 Release notes and get final review of them from engineering. GS - Done. Final draft Release notes is ready. A short and sweet version is at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Notes/8.2.0 with links from there to the detailed version at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Notes/8.2.0-detailed-version Last call for edits and final sign off needed from management and engineering. 3 - Finalize blurb used to promote the release and start sending it out to internal lists. Write more generally usable Release message. GS - Not done. Last weeks blurb is the current best version. 4 - Update deployments page and releases page. GS - Partially done. Deployments page (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployments) updated with the XOs "delivered, shipped, and ordered". Status section needs more updating and timeline needs editing/bug fixing. No changes to Releases page (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases) this week. 5 - Post more detailed 8.2.1 page and restructure 9.1 page. GS - Partially done. Some minor edits to 9.1 page. 8.2.1 page removed and link to unscheduled release process page left. If/when we hear a specific blocking issue for a deployment we will start filling it out again. ****************** Goals for next week: 1 - Get sign off and incorporate final edits on 8.2 release notes. 2 - Write 8.2 availability announcement e-mail. Update wiki home page to link to 8.2. Should be in place for posting on or before Monday 10/13. 3 - Start weekly 9.1 meetings. Do major restructuring of 9.1 page. Start planning in person 9.1 conference. Thanks, Greg S _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
