Remote Sprint to finish Plone 5.1 on August 28.-30

[pbauer]

Beloved developers!

On August 28./29./30. there will be a remote sprint aimed at finishing Plone 5.1. If you want to participate please simply show up, say hi and grab a ticket

Tasks:

• Cleanup and sort tickets
• Identify and fix remaining issues
• Write an upgrade-guide for Plone 5.1
• Release a release-candidate version
• Have beers

If you are more of the futuristic type you can also work on PLIPs for future versions.

What can you do? Easy!

1. Create or find existing tickets in https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone/issues
2. Tag the ticket you want so see fixed before a release with the tag "sprint"
3. Help fixing the tickets or hope someone else will fix them.

I'll invest some time before the sprint to triage tickets fit for the tag "sprint":

plone/Products.CMFPlone

Organisation

• Each day we'll have two remote standups via Jutsi Meet, one at 10:00 CEST and one at 19:00 CEST. Here is the url: https://meet.jit.si/plone-sprint
• Chat is in https://gitter.im/plone/sprint

Please drop a reply here if you can participate!

I would suggest that we use the gitter channels instead of slack, as there are the most activity recently and it is more open and well integrated with github. I opened a room for general sprints https://gitter.im/plone/sprint
Also we should use jitsi instead of hangout, because we had to much trouble with more then 10 people in a hangout room:

Jitsi Meet

@pbauer just tell us if you would be fine with this changes, so that everybody is on the same channels

[pbauer]

Sure thing, we can use gitter and Jitsi for chat and video-calls. Thanks for the suggestions.

[MrTango]

cool, @pbauer can you update your post with the infos then, so nobody gets confused

[pbauer]

Since only three people showed up today and I have a dumb cold wer decided to move the sprint to next week (Monday 28. - Wednesday 30. August). See you then!

Hi Philip! Sorry to hear you're sick. I will help, but I may not be able to
do so synchronously. See you at the board meeting,

Kim

[pbauer]

The morning standup was not really packed (timezones and holidays).

• Philip started work on the upgrade-guide
• Maik is working on a new release of bobtemplates.plone.
• Others joined on https://gitter.im/plone/sprint

The next standup will be at 7pm CEST (5pm UTC).

Report form the evening standup:

• Maik made a release of bobtemplates.plone 2.0
• Upgrade-guide is done. Tomorrow Philip will run migrations to see if we missed anything
• Eric broke the build repeatedly with diazo
• A couple if issues were fixed. For details see: https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone/projects/6

We plan to do a rc1 release this week after the sprint. So if you want tickets to be fixed please join us!
