And let me be the first (?) to congratulate you all!
It's been a rocky road but you pulled through and now we all have a nice
fresh piece of image that we can jump onto. It is a psychological
important step - a release. Even though it probably still has a bunch of
problems/bugs or whatever - we now have a common baseline that we can
grab and try to move into.
Again, thanks for all your hard work - bring out the champagne and let's
have fun! I will try to verify some of my packages in 3.9 ASAP.
regards, Göran
PS. For the next release, whatever its number - we should probably try
to spread the workload in some way. I know - it is note easy, and we did
try it for 3.9 with teams etc. But perhaps a bit of community
coordination and prodding is all we need to finally get those stewarding
teams rolling a bit more. But at the end of the day we probably still
will need a dedicated release team - hard to avoid - but the next
release could then perhaps be made smaller in scope.
