Do we (as a project) really have this expectations? For me a community project has to deal with the coming and going of developer resources. I tried many times to get a 1.21 release schedule set that would have avoided my unavailability in June. All of these attempts failed and we ended in this situation. > Fortunately, we have tools to avoid issues with this. > > https://phab.enlightenment.org/calendar/ > > If anyone is planning to be unavailable for a length of time which could > impact the project (e.g., going on vacation/holiday for a week, going on a > business trip for several days when a release is pending, ...), please > create an event on the calendar for it.

I already have a private and a business calendar I need to keep updated. I am not keen to have another one I need to update. My work scope changed, my travels have increased and my private time I put into this project has also reduced due to personal changes. Even if I would say yes here to update such a schedule this with lag behind in just a few weeks time from now due to me not updating it. On the bright side though I should no longer be the single point failure for release stuff after 1.21 is out as I will step down from the release manager role. I tried to form a release team for many years so far but failed in getting anyone interested. By stepping down I kind of forcing this change, hopefully for the better. regards Stefan Schmidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
