• General Announcements
  • Logo Discussion -
    • No issues among maintainers - looks fine. 
• Release updates
  • NOTE docs release process change for docusaurus - requires a PR (not just a github release)
  • 23.7.x series - trialling releasing from a release branch per - (RFC) Reprise: Release Candidates from Main For Every Release
    • (Incorporates both Proposal: Quarterly releases from main by default AND Proposal: Avoid Cherry-Picked Releases)
    • still looking for feedback on this process but it's working well
    • (from Simon) This did not work well for 23.7.3-RC, hopefully Gary has enough context to discuss the issues, but the main ones were:
      • Carrying out the release was complicated and error prone: cherry picking still needed to happen even though it was a release from main - it could be scripted BUT...
      • There's a manual part of the process where we have to work out from which commit to start the cherry-pick.
      • Discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/905194001349627914/943252457063075880/1153922976736104449
    • NOTES ON CALL:
      • Good:
        • Can merge to main
        • Good squash/commit history
        • Can easily abort release candidates that fail and does not create candidate docker images that users may pick up by accident 
      • Bad:
        • Different SHAs for cherry picks, more fraught history
        • Need admin to disable branch protection rules for new release branches 
      • Only Gary and Simon have used this release process 
      • Human required process needs to identify which SHA commit we start the release from 
      • Need work around automation and process itself 
      • 23.10.0 -
        • Should take this into the automation realm → iterating on scripts for release automation 
      • Fabio would like to try this process on next release 
      • We will pilot this release process before making it official - perhaps in 24.1.0 
  • 23.7.3-RC release update from Ameziane - Memory usage investigations on 23.7.3-RC
