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. -- Kind Regards, Dave Walker <dave.wal...@canonical.com> Engineering Manager, Ubuntu Server On 19 August 2013 18:26, Scott Kitterman <ubu...@kitterman.com> wrote: > I agree that this is useful for Canonical upstreams trying to map out their > next three - six months' work.
