End of Life Discussions

• Michael pointed out how we've never formally called an EOL to versions of OpenMRS
• What does it mean to be EOL?
  • No longer supported by core developers
  • No longer patched
  • Directory moved to endoflife
• Came to basic consensus on supporting three versions of OpenMRS at any one point as a basic rule

TODO:

• create EOL folder
• create wiki page that describes what it means to be EOL
• add EOL workflow process to release process page
• announce 1.4 EOL in next week, with date: 1-2 weeks following 1.7 release
• announce 1.5 EOL around time of 1.8 alpha release

1.7 release update

• 1.7 Beta will be released tonight, July 15th. All open bugs are set to be reviewed and committed today.
• beta testing:
  • We need a production implementation to test the beta before the release.
  • TODO: Sy will twist some arms of implementations
• We should still do an RC because more people will probably test with that.
  • TODO RC release date of Aug 5th.
• Timing of a final release is set for August 19th.

1.8 release update

• 10-ten list was gone through and ranked as fixable or not, and possible priority.
  • TODO: Wyclif will create and/or assign tickets
• Hackathon: everyone is welcome to join in person or remotely.
  • Mike is better for 23/24 of Aug. Ben/Jeremy can't do 25/26th potentially.
  • TODO: Ben to figure out what his flight plans are.
  • TODO: Darius to write to developer's list to ask.
