Hi everyone, In Barcelona the release team has been discussing how to improve release announcements. Posting them on openstack-dev (for libs) and openstack-announce (for main services) has proven to be pretty noisy, especially for projects which publish lots of components, like OpenStack Puppet or OpenStack Ansible. This actively discouraged people to follow openstack-announce, which was really not the goal.
At the same time, we can't just stop making announcements. Some people (especially on the downstream side) still want to receive release announces. And we still want to archive a trace of the release and provide a starting point for discussing immediate issues on a given release, especially for libraries. The proposed solution is to create a specific mailing-list for OpenStack release announcements (proposed name is "release-announces") where we'd post the automated release announcements. Only the release bot and release managers would be able to post to it. The "reply-to" field would be set to openstack-dev, in case someone wanted to start a thread about a given release. By default, it would be set to send in daily digest mode, to reduce noise and encourage people to subscribe to it. The -announce list would get back to low-noise, and be limited to highly-important announcements (one email for the final release, emails about events, elections...). Please let us know if you have comments or questions. We'll start implementing this plan next week if no objection is raised. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
