; blocker
Status: [[Status::released]] on [[Release date::2008-10-14]]
: We can agree on a minimal set of bugs which are so nasty that we know in advance that we could never deploy an OS containing them. These bugs are called 'blockers'. We will not ship 8.2.0 with open blockers.


Release notes: [[Release notes::Release notes/{{PAGENAME}}]]
; polish
: We can agree on a more inclusive set of low-risk 'polish' bugs that we should attempt to resolve as time and resources permit.


Primary maintainer: [[Primary maintainer::User:Mstone]]
; milestones
: Our ideal 8.2.0 release procedure will consist of motion toward the delivery of three milestone builds:
:* an ''Alpha'' image with few blockers,
:* a signed ''Beta'' image with some polish, and
:* a signed ''Final'' image with no blockers and, we hope, some polish.


Target platforms: [[Target platforms::XO-1]]
; change control
: A process for limiting the rate of change and restricting the causes of change to a deliverable (like an OS build) so that correlated deliverables (like release notes) can be synchronized.
: ''a.k.a "freezing"''


ECO: [[Is part of::ECO/8.2.0]]
== Schedule ==


Primary objective:
Preparations for the 8.2.0 release began in December, 2007 and rapidly expanded in March, 2008 when, having completed the [[8.1.0|8.1.0 release]], the Sugar team began working toward the goal of shipping their UI redesign. In March, [[User:Mstone/Commentaries/Releases_1|it was decided]] to try to ship the release in August according to [[Priorities-2008|documented development priorities]] on the basis of the claim that August was the earliest time at which the integration of a useful body of features could be completed. The current schedule calls for the completion of the 8.2.0 release in mid-September as follows:
* [[Has objective::Time based release. Intended to include all the available features which are ready in time.]]
* [[Has objective::incorporate Sugar team's UI redesign.]]
* [[Has objective::Fedora 9 respin.]]


Lead customer: ??
: '''8/27''': we will nominate a build as our '''Alpha image''' for maximal testing. If miracles occur, it will have no blockers. :)


Build number: [[Build number::767]]
: '''9/03''': change control tightens (i.e. '''"we freeze"''').


Download URL: [[Download URL::http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/767]] , also [[Download URL::http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-767-4/]] with [[G1G1 2008]] activities pre-installed.
: '''9/05''': we will officially '''refresh translations'''.


Firmware: [[Firmware::OLPC Firmware q2e18]]
: '''9/07''': we will conduct a preliminary '''security audit''' of the OFW, EC, kernel, and initramfs changes relevant to initial activation security.


Build system: [[Build system::Pilgrim]] from [[Build platform::Fedora 9]]
: '''9/10''': we will publish a '''signed Beta''' reference OS and G1G1 derivative images.

: '''9/17''': we will publish the '''signed Final''' images of the 8.2.0 reference OS, [[Release Notes/8.2.0|release notes]], and the G1G1 derivative image.

# '''OTHERWISE, UNTIL 9/03''', you can '''POLISH''':
#* [http://dev.laptop.org/report/30 Report of 'polish:8.2.0' bugs]
#* subject to 'light change control'; see below

=== Change Control ===

: Change control will be in force on the 8.2.0 release stream from now until release and will be managed by Scott, Marco, and Michael.

: From '''8/20''' to '''9/03''', light change control ('slush', 'frost') will be in place. During this interval, changes to the release stream must be approved, in any medium, by Scott, Marco, or Michael before being pushed. Changes will not be approved without detailed ChangeLog entries (e.g. as good as [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/sugar;a=commit;h=2ca25e96c4c779d7a8dcb1564cf1d8f7d8333407 Scott's commit messages]).

: From '''9/03''' to '''9/17''', full change control ('ice', 'frozen') will be in place. No changes will be accepted unless they are explicitly coordinated and scheduled by the full release team.

== Development stream ==
We have a [[pilgrim]] [[Build system|stream]] named "8.2" which is where release candidates will be developed.

* [http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/xo-1/streams/8.2/ Download 8.2.0 images]
* [http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/ Download joyride images]
* [http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-pkgs.html ChangeLog]
* [http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-joyride.html Differences vs joyride]

Builds are manually triggered by [[Profiles/cscott|C. Scott Ananian]].

If developers wish to get packages/updates included in the stream, they must first be committed to joyride. After successful testing in joyride, file an inclusion request on the corresponding trac ticket. Approval will come from release engineering before the package is included in the stream.

== Release Criteria ==

The release criteria for 8.2.0 are being drafted and will be posted shortly.
* See [[User:Gregorio/8.2.0 release criteria]] for Greg's wishlist.
