Greets,
I'm looking for a volunteer to be the Incubator's "Report Manager" for our
December Board report.
Many aspects of the report process are now automated. Below my sig is the
output of `report_runbook.py`, which is akin to a release script. It serves
as a task list, but with custom commands printed out for the Report Manager to
copy-and-paste in order to reduce effort and error.
I would be happy with either a volunteer who wants to take on only the
mechanical steps and leave editorial and summary preparation to me, a
volunteer who wants to prepare the entire report, or anywhere in between.
The IPMC Chair is ultimately responsible for ensuring that a proper report
gets delivered to the Board, but does not necessarily have to write it or even
coordinate it. It would be good for the Incubator for more people to gain
increased familiarity with our tools and tasks -- for the same reasons that it
is beneficial for a project to have many individuals serve as Release Manager.
Hopefully we can get a volunteer to perform the first sequence of steps to
prep the wiki template soon, since podling report reminders are scheduled to
be sent out tomorrow.
