Re: vUDS Scheduling

2013-08-19 Thread Daviey Walker
Hi Scott,

I can only speak on behalf of the Cloud and Server track, but I'd like
to clarify how we intend to use this.  Unlike a start-of-cycle vUDS,
this is a midcycle checkpoint opportunity.

The purpose of this, is to drive existing blueprints to completion.

This is an chance for those involved in Cloud and Server to do a
'show-and-tell' of blueprints defined 3 months ago.  We can evaluate
decisions made then, check if assumptions were correct, anything we
feel needs to be re-addressed and some re-scoping.  Very little (if
any), new work should come from this.

The Canonical Server team previously did this same exercise but at an
internal-only mid-cycle sprint.  This is largely the same thing, but
out in the open.  THIS i am a big fan of and I am sure you are also
supportive of this.

Personally, I think the timing to clash with feature freeze lends
itself nicely.  This is the time that blueprints should be de-scoped
if they are clearly not on track with features, and anything we
/really/ need to see this cycle - can be considered very carefully
with risk mitigation.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to give me a shout.
