[hibernate-dev] [OGM] Sprint organization

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi,

Thanks for grooming the backlog and preparing these releases!

I'm curious how the weekly release scheme is going to work out. In the last
two sprints we created none (although I thought we wanted to release HS?)
and one (HV, as planned) release. Planning for four releases now may be
over-stretching it a bit, esp. when splitting up powers as we do in the
first week. I would have planned for 4.1.2 and a 4.2 release.

As you say, it's too many issues, we will not be able to do them all.
Personally, I like a realistic schedule more, IMO it gives you a better
sense of achievement if you actually managed to tackle what you had
planned. Now we'll more likely get the feeling that we failed to do half of
the things planned (as we know that's expected, still I find it
sub-optimal).

The 4.1.2/4.2 release split make sense. It may be a good idea to either
pull you, Emmanuel, or Sanne (which I wouldn't count as a newbie in terms
of OGM) over to 4.2 issues at some stage, depending on the progress we make
with the respective backlogs.

Nice to have the five of us working on OGM, looking forward to get new
functionality out there!

>
> Within these 3 weeks, we will do:
>
> * 4.1.2 (bug fixes) -> code freeze Friday 27th
> * 4.2 Alpha1 -> code freeze Friday 27th
> * 4.2 Alpha2 or Beta we will see -> code freeze Friday 6th
> * 4.2 Beta or CR we will see -> code freeze Wed 11th
>
> The rookie team + me will work on the 4.1.2 tagged issues.
> This work will continue even past the release of 4.1.2 but will be
> likely incorporated into the 4.2 branch.
>
> Davide and Gunnar will work on the 4.2 tagged issues.
> It might make sense to have a single one focus on the numerous query
> improvements and the other on the rest. See below.

> Take the top issue of the list ordered by decreasing priority or one

> ## Priorities
>
> For 4.1.2, I have sorted issues by decreasing importance with one little
> twist. All issues created after a direct user feedback is marked
> blocker. This is to speed our feedback loop time.

> The main focus is significantly improving JP-QL queries.

> Tertiary is everything else. That includes some improvements in ORM itself
