Things I liked:
- Dates and timing worked much better than in the past, both in terms of how long we had between the cut and the release, and also where the release fell on the calendar. I think the current pacing is ideal.
- The effort was shared over a wider group
- We created a lot of institutional knowledge
Things that could have gone better:
- Functional testing was thin, and is very hard for highly-customized features (e-commerce, theming)
- Still more work to do on improving, capturing processes (in particular, release notes)
- docker devstack images were overlooked, and I still don’t know how they get created
