Hi everyone,

As discussed in the TSC call this week, there is a concern that the STX test team does not have the bandwidth to perform release regression and system testing activities within the current STX9.0 release timeframe.

There were a couple of options that were discussed in the call:

1. Release STX9.0 as a “tech preview” which would mean release with limited to no release regression or system testing having been performed
2. Have other volunteers within the community take on the responsibility of performing the release regression and system test activities
3. Push the STX9.0 dates back into Q1 2024 when test team resources free up to perform the planned regression and system test

We are looking for community feedback on either of those options, so if you have opinions or have resources who can perform the activities, please reply to this email and we’ll engage on the conversation.

Thanks,

Rob
