[Cosmo-dev] Cosmo 0.8 Meeting Summary

[Ted Leung]

Hi folks,

A few of us met today to talk about the Cosmo 0.8 release.   We've  
been talking about Cosmo 0.8 as a release focused on  
interoperability, specifically interoperability with iCal 3, to be  
included in Leopard.   We were able to do some testing at the recent  
CalConnect interoperability event, although not as much as we would  
have liked.    We've made a lot of interoperability progress in the  
Cosmo 0.8 branch, and we agreed that we want to keep up the rhythm of  
our time based release cycles.   So we are going to go ahead and do a  
Cosmo 0.8 on a timed release basis, although not at the 1 week  
interval that we've been using for the 0.7.x bug fix releases.

The current plan is to build the first Cosmo 0.8 release candidate on  
Friday, October 5.   This release is probably going to need more  
extensive validation that the 0.7.x series, so it would be good if we  
can find a way to start doing some QA before that October 5 date.    
I'm not sure what the final target date for Cosmo 0.8 should be -- my  
thought is that we probably want a full 5 days of QA for 0.8, but I'd  
be interested in hearing from the QA team as to how much time they  
would like to have.

As always, questions, comments, and suggestions welcome.

Ted
