MEETING NOTES
1) Overview of the release management process (Licínio)
Assure that the final artifacts are uploaded to JoinUp -> Release. Who is responsible? Release Manager.
The OpenNCP Release Manager history:
- Steen Manniche
- Ivo Pinheiro
- Kostas Karkaletsis
The idea is to have more people engaged with this process. Perhaps someone from the DG-Santé?
markus.kalliola: Yes This role fits the EC. Maybe Jerome or Yacoubou.
ii) Release Notes
Example: 1.2.1 - Version Numbering
Lists all the components affected.
Shows what has changed...
The credentials for the JoinUp repository are currently held by Licinio Kustra Mano and Kostas Karkaletsis.
The work from the Release Manager goes beyond...
- Identify what is a major or minor Release, what is Release Candidate... We use the gitflow semantics.
- Responsible to prepare branches and assure that the code is placed in the right place...
Kostas Karkaletsis is the key person to explain the actions on this page;
Distinguish Developers from Users:
- Developers: contribute with code;
- Users: Most likely are the countries that will adopt the code.
Update JIRA Projects:
- Support
- Development (new things)
We have to pay attention to the fields of the issues: OpenNCP Version affected and Fix version.
When there is a release: Send an e-mail to the community (you can find examples in the comment section of some of the Release Notes)
michele.foucart: Who decides what to be released? Which changes are validated by whom?
There is the Steering Board, Technical Comitte (who includes Release Management) and the Development Team;
BiWeekly Meetings join everyone to make such decisions, get questions and evetually open issues, etc.
michele.foucart: About Testing and Quality Analysis: Is there a link for test scenarios? Regression Tests? And the acceptance criteria?
Continuous Integration Workflow Page
Integration Testing - Automated
We do not have Regression Testes - these are made by the countries - we do unit testing and integration testing

Another "awesome" page related to CI: Integration of CI Environment With Gazelle Services:
Let's schedule a next meeting having the Release Manager:
- Rui Alves (Unlicensed) to set up a Doodle checking everyone's availability for next week.
We should have also some meetings about the Continuous Integration: next step to be taken. (To Be Scheduled after the Release Management Meetings).
