Hello all, For the last couple of releases, I've been handling the releases mostly on my own, but I'm starting a new job and I'm going to have a lot less time, or maybe even no time, for Boost. So we really need more people helping with release management and updating the website. The main release manager responsibilities are described here: https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList It's probably best if there are a few people involved. I don't think all of them will need admin permissions. For updating the website, you mainly need to occasionally edit html/quickbook files, accept pull requests to the release notes, and use the php scripts to updates the site at release time (I should be able to help a little there). thanks, Daniel

I have mentioned in the past that I would be happy to help more in this arena. Maybe now is the time. Ideally a few new volunteers could be involved in a support role with the next release while it is led or managed by somebody with experience. Volodya or Marshall, would one of you be willing to take the lead? michael -- Michael Caisse Ciere Consulting ciere.com
I will be really happy to help in this. Thank you, Pranam Lashkari On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 12:00 AM, Michael Caisse via Boost < boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:

If the release team ever needs an unqualified volunteer, I can offer some help. I have roughly zero experience in web development or maintenance though.

Much of the work of release managers is to watch the builds, tell people they can't merge, prodding people to submit release notes, cherry-picking module merges, and so on. The web site work is minor.. Although Daniel would be the person to say specifically what that is. As he handled all of it for a long time. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
