This release is targeted for Uruguay but it wil be available to everyone and probably will be used in manufacturing. It is a maintenance release based on [[8.2.0]]. As such it does not contain the latest changes and the goal is to minimize changes in order to bound the test cycle.
= Objective =
Ensure smooth deployment for countries rolling out or upgrading between December and April.


== Standard information ==
The date and target bug fix set will be determined by the lead customers. The next steps are to listen to the customers and the bug fixes they need. Then can scope the fixes and pick a target release date.

Must be posted by November 15. Any later and Rwanda will miss their opportunity to upgrade.<br>
(We need to check if this is still the case and monitor how their deployment is going. We can have a similar problem as we have with Peru and Ethiopia... that we don't meet their timeline because either it moves or we don't have a good understanding of it.

(If we decide Nov 15th is an important date, then change control needs to start by Oct 24. And we should have a candidate release, and a signed build for testing by Oct 31. With this very short time frame, we need to think of this release as a 3 week bug fix sprint starting next week. [[User:Kimquirk|Kimquirk]] 12:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC))

= Rules of engagement =
We will collect the list of target bug fixes by reviewing open trac items and setting the ones we want to address to Milestone 8.2.1.

Priority field will be set to High or Blocker. High bugs will be accepted until a certain date tbd. After that only blockers will be accepted.

Bug scrub decision criteria: <br>
If a bug will prevent a target customer from deploying it we will consider a high priority/blocker for the release. <br>

On G1G1 if a bug will prevent a lot of support calls we will consider it. e.g. WPA improvements may be needed. <br>

Otherwise we will consider any bugs which have a High Value and Low effort or a High Value and High Effort as long as the ROI is clear and the bug can be addressed in the target time frame.

= Major Work to Consider =
We should decide if we want to have any focus on each of these. <br>

* Power
Could be a test only effort where QA must write and execute a full set of tests.

* Collaboration
Same as power. Don't plan on major re-work but improve test capacity. Additionally consider bug fixes which are well contained?

* Lease management
Critical customer issue. Need to decide if its in or out or if there is a minimal implementation we can do.<br>
(We have been promising customers this feature for next year, 2009. As we are starting implementation, it might be important to get some pieces of the feature in for early testing, but it is not a goal to get a lease management system in place for 8.2.1.
