We’re considering two options: either 6 weeks before release, on Oct 23, or 7 weeks before release, on Oct 16. The 7-week option is there to account for the week-or-so that it took for the release testing sandbox to come up for Redwood. If Edly can guarantee the testing sandbox can be ready a day before the cutoff, we could aim to a 6-week testing and debugging period.
Vacant BTR positions
We agreed on guaranteeing a shadowing period for offering some psychological safety to the new members and ensuring a proper knowledge transfer.
@Jorge Londoño will post a call to fill the open positions in the community channels.
@Jorge Londoño will document the proposed workflow between the BTR WG and the Maintainers WG for Sumac.
@Jorge Londoño will bring the Sumac release milestones dates proposal to the next Release Planning session.
@Adolfo Brandes will ask Edly if it is possible to get Tutor and its plugins already working on master on the day before the cutoff
