Hi Mike,

Now that oVirt 3.1 has shipped, we need to start the planning process for the next release. One of the major topics for this week's weekly sync is to review the release criteria.
The criteria we used for 3.1 is laid out on the wiki [1]. I will be posting an equivalent version for the next release in the next couple days, but it will mostly be copy/paste from this page.
Please think about release criteria and whether or not we want to add/remove/change things for this release. This needs to be determined now to make sure that the release process runs smoother down the line.
Beyond the release criteria, there's the main goal of the release - what is the major problem oVirt users have that we can fix for the next release, for example?
I find it useful to have one big user-visible goal to federate people around the release and give us a nice headline feature. Of course it's possible to have some smaller features we would like to add, and bugs we would like to fix. But the big goal provides both a neat way of prioritising work and a finish line to measure against.
Cheers, Dave.
my view - that would be great, but such goals should be suggested by someone also committing to delivering them per the planned schedule.
