AGENDA

1. External testing

   1. Long discussion, some takeaways:

      1. We have at least a couple of people that either do test or would test release candidates if we were more clear on them.

      2. We should start being more proactive about publishing project updates to the dev list, and producing near-term status/schedule updates for people to help awareness of where things are in the cycle.

      3. Long-term, it might be nice to have a staging repository with access control for non-public access to releases for early access, maybe as a member benefit. Will discuss with Board.

      4. Once we automate more of the release process, formal beta or RC releases might make some sense.

      5. In the meantime, we should put together some kind of web page via scripting to let us attach status information for each product with pointers to the relevant snapshots in Nexus, so seeing where things stand and how to grab them would be easy for people. Exposing that in structured form might make sense too.
