8.2.0 Release Criteria & ECO Documentation (Michael Stone)

[Greg Smith]

Hi Michael,

I thought of one item we missed in making this checklist.

We need to pick the set of activities which we will include in the 
factory G1G1 image.

Can you add that to the check list so we are fully ready to produce this 
image when its done?

If that decision can come out of synch with the blessing of the core 
image we can track it elsewhere. I just want to make sure we nail it 
down soon so we don't have a lot of latency between finalizing the image 
and getting it shipped on newly manufactured XOs.

Thanks,

Greg S

In preparation for shipping an 8.2.0 build to manufacturing, we need to
agree on release criteria. To that end, I have stubbed out rough ECO
documentation for 8.2.0 at

    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0
    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ECO/8.2.0/Checklist

Please review these pages and offer suggestions on their talk pages so
that I can fold your comments into the pages over the next week.

So far, the most important changes I have made include:

    * Stating some of the technical documentation that future stable
      releases should include and making space for us to try creating that
      documentation for 8.2.0 at our leisure.

    * Stating the list of locales and keyboards which I believe must be
      minimally qualified for 8.2.0. See

        http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Notes/Localization_1

      for notes on what I mean by 'release X is qualified for locale Y'.

    * Created a test item for documentation signoff on the manual and
      activities signoff on the derivative builds.

    * Created final test items for release criteria including:

         "1 week of community testing"
         "all recent bugs triaged"
         "no 8.2.0 blockers"
         "release notes signoff"

What have I missed?
