Due to life and heat waves +interfering, we were slow before, but we finished the release this time +around. + +This was a really important step for us because we got out a release which we +want others to try. It's now a long slog to getting people to actually try +Subplot. + +# Review of the repositories + +No in-progress MRs in any of the repositories. No spare branches in the +container images or web repositories. The "Rust for subplot.md" branch +remains in the subplot repository. Pipelines all looked good. + +# Current goal + +## Discussion + +When reviewing the issues we tentatively put into our new goal we decided +that it makes sense to only have one significant feature change per goal. +We identified that both conditional/subroutine scenarios and the unification +of language handling were large amounts of work and so we decided to pick +only one for our new goal (2). + +After discussion we chose language unification for this goal. + +## New definition + +Subplot provides a set of libraries with identical capabilities in each of the +supported languages. Python remains a supported language. Rust is promoted to +supported-language status. Subplot will be tested with all supported languages. +In addition, any quality of life improvements which can be done shall be done. +This goal will be considered complete when a release of Subplot has been made +with the unified language handling support complete. + +# Issue review + +We reviewed all issues, from the group level: + + +- [[!issue 6]] we tweaked the title of the issue slightly. +- [[!issue 20]] we moved to goal 3 +- [[!issue 22]] we discussed and decided what we have is "good enough" so we + closed it. +- [[!issue 74]] we took out of the goal, and made someday-maybe +- [[!issue 78]] we added a relates-to [[!issue 165]] +- [[!issue 96]] we removed someday-maybe, added goal 2, assigned to Lars +- [[!issue 120]] was tentatively added to this iteration +- [[!issue 132]] was changed to goal 3 +- [[!issue 177]] was moved to the container-images repository +- [[!issue 202]] was put into goal 2 and assigned to Daniel +- [[!issue 205]] was put into goal 2 and assigned to Daniel +- [[!issue 206]] was tentatively added to the iteration +- [[!issue 207]] was labelled with goal 2 and tracking. We assigned it Lars + and put it into the iteration with a goal of creating the sub-issues. + +We then had a discussion about [[!issue 198]] + +We removed the active-discussion label after discussing the proposal, assigned +it to Daniel, and put it into the iteration. + +# Plan for next iteration + +We opened [[!milestone 32]] to cover this iteration. It has seven +issues: + +- [[!issue 207]] - Lars will split this into sub-issues. He makes no promises to + actually do them though. +- [[!issue 206]] - Lars will have a go at figuring out why this is happening, + again no promises. +- [[!issue 205]] - Daniel will do this because it blocks Lucas +- [[!issue 202]] - Daniel will do this because it's daft that it happens +- [[!issue 198]] - Daniel will make a strong start on this, but can't guarantee + to have finished it. +- [[!issue 120]] - Lars will do this +- [[!issue 96]] - Lars will do this + +In addition, we decided to not make a release in this iteration. + +# Other business + +We deferred the discussion about using `cargo release` until Daniel has tried it +on a multi-crate project. + +We discussed feedback from the release. + +- Feedback from Lucas was already known - nixos issues. +- Richard Maw submitted a few MRs to fix typos, which was nice (painful, but + nice) +- Lare tried the tutorial which had the wrong binary names. We fixed the + tutorial and are now waiting for further feedback. +- No feedback yet from Serbitar +- Feedback from Minoru (who is involved with Obnam) + +- Nothing back from Finn as yet. +- No feedback yet from JR at the Wikimedia Foundation. + +We decided that we should compile a list of _new_ people to reach out to at +the end of goal 2, and we put Russ Alberry on that list. + +# Actions + +No actions. -- cgit v1.2.1
