Time Spent
This is just an approximation, based on looking back after the fact.
- Writing preliminary documents (audience doc, improvements doc, etc): about a day
- Preliminary meetings, cross-team communication, determining when was the right time to cut the first release candidate: about a day
- Releasing RC1: about a day and a half
- Discussing tagging scheme and tagging repos
- Emailing the edx-code mailing list to let people know what was happening
