Action Required: stx.10.0 feature updates
by Khalil, Ghada 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Hello stx.10.0 Feature Primes, In the stx release meeting on June 19, a few items were discussed that need your attention/action: 1. Feature dates are not kept up to date in the release planning spreadsheet - This impacts the ability of the release team to determine if the release is on track or if it's at risk. The planning spreadsheet is the central place used to assess the release status. - Please take the time to review and update the feature dates every 2wks prior to the release meeting (next meeting is on July 3) - Please join us in the release meeting whenever possible and especially if you see any risks to the release that you'd like to make visible 2. Features and Storyboard links are missing from the release planning spreadsheet. Release tags are also missing from Storyboards - This was brought up by Juanita as she's noticed doc updates required for features that aren't in the spreadsheet - Again keeping the release planning spreadsheet accurate is key to managing the release. - Please review the release planning spreadsheet and add any missing features (include the storyboard reference in Column Y) - Please also ensure the storyboards have the release tag (stx.10.0). Note: If you are also adding domain tags, each tag must be entered individually in Storyboard. Release Planning spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FMNIfVSRSsdDuWizZzWhZvvcSfYCoiXgW-a… Thank you, Ghada stx releases PL

by Ildiko Vancsa 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Hi StarlingX Community, I’m reaching out to you to draw your attention to the new Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Working Group (WG) web page on the OpenInfra website! You can visit it here: https://openinfra.dev/about/diversity Diversity and inclusion are essential to the success and sustainability of open source communities. The D&I WG is set out to support all OpenInfra communities, including StarlingX, to help identify and resolve challenges to create and maintain an inclusive and welcoming place for all people to collaborate. The new web page is a dedicated space where you can learn more about our ongoing efforts to promote D&I within the OpenInfra communities. It provides resources, updates on initiatives, and opportunities for you to get involved in the working group and related activities. To further these efforts, the working group is encouraging you to participate in the latest D&I survey. Your input is invaluable in helping to understand the current landscape and identify areas for improvement. The survey is completely anonymous, and your responses will remain confidential. Non-sanitized results are not shared outside OpenInfra Foundation staff and board delegates in the D&I Working Group. You can take the survey multiple times, once for each OpenInfra community you are involved in. Your participation will help us create a more inclusive environment across all our projects. Take the D&I Survey: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openinfra_diversity_inclusi… Thank you for your continued support and commitment to making OpenInfra a welcoming and inclusive community for everyone. Best Regards, Ildikó P.S. Don’t forget to share the D&I survey with your peers within the community to ensure we capture diverse perspectives from across our community! ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation
