Subject: v3.15 builders bootstrapped

Hello all,

The v3.15 builders have all been bootstrapped. This means no large
changes affecting the toolchain or ABI breaking changes should be pushed
anymore to main. Once the builders start working on community, it will
count there as well.

Our focus should be mostly on fixing build issues to keep the builders
and testing v3.15.

Thanks

Yeaaaaaaha! Do we already have the custom of a virtual release party?

If yes, where & when does it happen?

If no, is anyone interested in having a virtual (video based?) hangout
to celebrate? Maybe cheering with a drink of your choice?

Best regards from Seoul airport,

Nico

Hi,

As we now have the capacity to do this, I think it might be a reasonable 
idea.  We haven't had the capacity to do this prior to the setup of 
BigBlueButton.

Hi,

I’m sorry, but there’s one change I have to do (because know one did it so far): upgrade Ruby from 2.7 to 3.

Next time I would appreciate informing about the freeze period in advance.

We are only in soft freeze.  Feel free to do the Ruby upgrade, but try to 
get it done quickly.

Addressing your other concern, the TSC will outline a release timeline for 
3.16 release and later, at the beginning of those development cycles.  We 
didn't do it for 3.15 as the cycle was underway by the time the TSC was 
operational.

May still be possible unless it require us to rebuild the world again.

I can give you the freeze period already now. The freeze period for
3.16 will start around first half of April 2022, and the freeze period
for 3.17 will start around first half of October 2022.

We are aiming for releases every May and November, and should start set
up the builders a month in advance.

I hope that help.
