Hi all,
Since
the community goal selection process has taken a turn, we
wanted to send an update regarding the current goals. We
originally wanted to have the goals for Train be merged by
this point to give project teams ample time to plan for them
accordingly in their PTG scheduled. Due to discussions
raised in each [0][1], it doesn't sound like either will be
making it into Train as a feasible community goal.
Fortunately, a couple of last minute goals might be a
perfect fit for Train, instead of having a release without
any community goals.
The
first one suggested is to render documentation as PDFs [2].
The second goal, which still needs to be proposed, is for
IPv6 support. The advantage is that both of these goals are
much smaller in scope, but still useful. We're running up
against the clock on getting goals selected for Train, but
we still have an opportunity to come to agreement on the new
proposals before the PTG.
We'd
like to ask TC and members of the community to review the
proposed goals at their earliest convenience. Additionally,
if someone wants help write up the IPv6
support goal [3][4],
please reach out gmann and mnaser. Even though we were
originally trying to make sure we had firm goals well before
the PTG, the reduced scope of the new goals should make them
easier to talk about in impromptu sessions or the hallway
track.
Thanks,
JP & Lance

Note that this goal is for testing IPv6 networking setups in
all projects. We already have a tempest full ipv6 job, it
would be a matter of making these jobs passing and voting in
the future.
