Tuesday has been determined to be the best day for Press announcements and kept for deadlines to maintain historical consistency. 4) Official Release Engineering Composes happen on Thursdays, except for the final release 5) Syncing releases to mirrors ideally happens on Thursdays... end of day on Friday is worst case 6) Most tasks are scheduled with 'length' instead of 'duration' to get a sense of "work days" required--using 'length' one week = 5 days --an eternal debate could be held to discuss whether or not schedule cacluations should include weekends because community members work at all times and not within strict work days. 7) There is little to no benefit found in including a holiday.tji file for Fedora. In some cases it made the scheduling more complicated 8) Use "length" everywhere and "duration" only when something must take into account a weekend day 9) All "Blocker Bug Days" should be on Fridays 10) If a task takes one day or less--schedule with no length--this way it showes up as a milestone and gets included in iCalendar (ics) file 11) Because of bugs in the way TaskJuggler ics files get rendered in some calendars (e.g. Zimbra) we only include zero length (milestone) tasks in the ics file. As a result there are several duplicate tasks with no length that have been added so they appear in the ics file. 12) There are five primary projects the Fedora Translation team works on: a) Software localization b) Guides localization c) Release Notes localization d) Website localization e) Release banner localization 13) Use core schedule milestones (flags = key) as anchor points (depends/precedes) for tasks in this schedule file instead of more transient tasks like meetings, compose dates, etc. that may change (or slip) from release to release. This makes building new release schedules easier and require less maintenance and updating. 14) In ALL but limited cases task beginning and ending should be automatically calculated based on logic in this file. When using hard coded dates, explicitly call them out with a comment to hightlight their existence. Hard coded dates are particularly troublesome when slipping a schedule or branching the file to create a new release schedule because they must be adjusted and recalculated manually 15) TaskJuggler does not provide an easy way (that I am aware of) to schedule tasks to happen *before* other tasks. I've created a hack/methodology I call "shadow" tasks. These are unreported tasks that go backwards a certain period of time and serve as an anchor or starting point for the actual task to be reported. 16) Slipping a particular release milstone, but then holding the rest of the schedule to its original dates requires a lot of tedious tweaking and is a real hassle. For example, if the Alpha release is a week late, no adjustments are made to the Beta or Final release dates. Fedora has a poor history of being able absorb slips and it usually results in a slip later in the release cycle. This is because the time period between Alpha Deadline and the final release has already been compressed as much as possible. 17) The "milestone" declaration is NOT used in this source file. It is redundant and unnecessary. Do not inlude it. All tasks without 'length' or 'duration' are automatically considered "milestone" tasks. 18) Keep the indentation and alignment consistent throughout the file--it makes it easier to read and grok a) select all the text in the source file b) Tools/Clean Indention c) Tools/Align */ # ============ What should be included in TaskJuggler? ============== /* e.g. Tasks that *should* be tracked in this schedule vs. subgroup ticketing or task systems 1) Inter-team dependencies. For example Docs team release-notes.rpm or Artwork team packages needed by Release Eng for complete distro creation. 2) Significant tasks that are important for other groups to be aware of 3) Tasks critical to releasing a new version of Fedora. For example, composing test releases, testing releases, syncing the release to the mirrors, etc. 4) Tasks that must be completed for a quality release--"nice to have" items should tracked elswhere and clutter the schedule 5) In general we have found it to be ineffective to create overly-detailed schedules for the subteams because they are hard to maintain and the ROI appears to be low */ # ============ How to Build a scheduled for a new release ============== /* It has worked really well to roll the current release TaskJuggler source file forward (copy/paste) to the next version and then modify it from there. I usually branch a new TaskJuggler source file for the next release approximately one month before GA. Once branched I make sure that any important structural changes to the current schedule get reflected in the new one. Changing the release methodology--length between different milestones and deadlines--every new release has been a nightmare making sure all the individual team schedules continue to work properly. This is because many of the team schedules are anchored to key milestones and deadlines. From Fedora 13 to 14 the methodology remained the same which made creating the Fedora 14 schedule much easier. Here is my step-by-step process: 1) Copy f-.tjp to f-.tjp (maintain same file and folder naming) 2) Remove all task length designations of "planned" and "actual" (used to reflect delta from original plan) so that there is only one length/duration declaration 3) Adjust planning duration and recalculate schedule until desired GA date is reached --this is a somewhat strange way to design a schedule, but the full methodology is described here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle 4) Search source for all instances of "# ADJUST FOR NEW RELEASE" and "# KEY ADJUSTMENT POINT"--these are tasks that must have their length manually adjusted so they land on the right day. They should also be considered if the schedule slips. 5) Fix all of the macros at the start of the file to reflect the correct release information 6) Update the html reports headers to reflect the two correct past releases 7) #
