| 15:51.51 | kesha_ | hi brlcad, I was not well. Doctor advised complete rest. Feeling better now. Back to work from today :) |
| 15:52.06 | kesha_ | Hows release work going ? |
| 15:52.57 | zero_level | kesha_ : release 7.24 happened yesterday ! |
| 15:55.10 | brlcad | kesha_: good to hear that you're better, send us a quick line to let someone know you're sick so we won't think that you're drunk in a hole somewhere! starting to get worried.. :) |
| 15:55.36 | brlcad | release is posted, announcements should be going out soon |
| 15:56.08 | brlcad | ``Erik: can you post windows binaries? or see if bob can? |
| 15:56.28 | zero_level | In the midst of this weather, things could be worse. Take care ! :-) |
| 15:56.45 | kesha_ | Mark knows about it. Who is working on Outreach department of release ? |
| 15:57.01 | brlcad | kesha_: okay, that's good to hear |
| 15:57.35 | kesha_ | zero_level: thanks :) |
| 15:58.57 | kesha_ | brlcad: If possible, add a small news about release to brlcad.org :) |
| 16:00.56 | kesha_ | I thought I would, but it seems I dont have access to edit that webpage. |
| 16:01.48 | ``Erik | brlcad: richard is using his windows machine and both bob and cliff are out so that office is locked... I'll ask richard if he can cook some |
| 16:06.50 | ``Erik | he says he'll try, but he's concerned that the build path will have his name in it |
| 16:07.02 | brlcad | kesha_: we have an extensive release process we follow... which includes updating the website |
| 16:07.43 | Notify | 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 55780 brlcad/trunk/HACKING: automation and reduction. there are steps we're not doing, reflect on why and adjust: too many compiles. once we pass tests on trunk, make the latter checks be more simple. provide even more automation to include lines for creating new binary dirs and uploading release notes into them. also *automatically* update the README and NEWS files with a little bit of regex |
| 16:07.45 | Notify | magic. release is almost fully automatable into a script now... |
| 16:08.13 | brlcad | kesha_: but you certainly can help -- care to try and write some release notes here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Community_Publication_Portal |
| 16:08.25 | brlcad | a fresh voice would be nice |
| 16:08.56 | brlcad | ``Erik: heh, well the build path is going to have someone's name in it, right? |
| 16:09.02 | brlcad | what's he scared of? |

| 16:11.41 | ``Erik | "the stigma of screwing it up" (after I called it "the credit and kudos for doing a release") :) I suggested trying to make a tmp type directory that doesn't have username in path, so he's going to give that a shot... we'll see what happens |
| 16:12.41 | brlcad | yeah, tell him it's something he can put in his accomplishments |

| 16:13.46 | kesha_ | brlcad: I am reading that. Can you also provide me some links regarding the length, past release announcements etc ? |
| 16:14.06 | brlcad | kesha_: as short as possible while being as informative as possible :) |
| 16:14.19 | brlcad | all of the previous announcements are on the website |
| 16:14.32 | brlcad | and on sourceforge in the news section |
| 16:15.53 | kesha_ | I am very fond of this task. I had once contributed for KDE's outreach, an article for dot about the annual KDE meetup - http://dot.kde.org/2013/03/07/kde-meetup-2013-india |
| 16:16.35 | kesha_ | Cool, I will look at them :) |
| 16:18.00 | brlcad | kesha_: we can work on it together this time around |
| 16:18.53 | brlcad | we need to get back to publishing outreach articles weekly, so there's a lot of possibilities |
| 16:19.24 | brlcad | an outreach manager would be a role I'd like to see someone eventually fill |
| 16:22.06 | brlcad | for the announcement, a summary or reworking of our release notes is usually a starting point |
| 16:23.32 | brlcad | we usually need a detailed long version (for the website and some news channels), the same length or a shorter version for our mailing lists, and a 1-paragraph short summary (for other news channels) |
| 16:24.02 | brlcad | along with one image that embodies the article |
| 16:25.47 | kesha_ | Ok. So has anyone started preparing anything for the same ? Or shall I start upon it ? |

| 19:28.32 | maths22 | caen23 did the vm one |

| 19:43.32 | brlcad | for the VM, suggest just having it have a checkout of the STABLE branch |
| 19:43.45 | brlcad | it'll have to get updated for the new sf.net URL anyways |
| 19:44.21 | brlcad | putting it on stable should give a good baseline for testing and help make future updates just a matter of updating the checkout to whatever the latest stable is |
