General Meeting Minutes

Moderator: Mario Calderon

Agenda Items:

1. Decide over Daniel Tamm's Changes:

• It concerns three features:
  • Delivery Policy
  • Invoice Rounding
  • Create From Shipment
• As these functionalities were not tested completely, and testers were uncertain if the contributions covered all cases, it was decided not to include them in the release.
• However, a branch will be created for each feature so that each one can be thoroughly tested and corrected even after the release.
• This means that three new branches, Delivery Policy, Invoice Rounding, and Create From Shipment, will be created.
• After testing the branches, they can be merged with the next release.

2. New Seed for MySQL:

• The new connection to MySQL was not tested.
• Despite this, simple tests and code reviews showed that the impact on the code is minimal and no major collateral effects are expected.
• The challenge remains in how to manage updates considering not only Postgres or Oracle, but also MySQL.
• So far, only Trifon knows how to create a seed. Teo will contact Trifon to document the process on a wiki page.

3. Official Statement about Trunk and Contributions:

• Using Daniel Tamm's functions as an example, the community is encouraged to create branches for easy integration into the Main Line of Development.
• This approach helps avoid having private functions and promotes sharing code and experiences.
• Victor Perez was invited to give a speech during the Conference about the New Development Cycle/Procedure (Main Line of Development, how to create branches, etc.) to provide a hands-on example for managing source code.

4. Final Steps Towards Release:

• The testing phase is officially complete.
• The following steps are yet to be done:
  • Release
  • Merge the release branch into development
  • Create a new tag
  • Create new feature branches (for Daniel Tamm's functionalities)
  • Document changes log
• The Bug tracking document Bug_Month_May_2011#Bug_Trackings will serve as the basis, and Tobi will create a Wiki page for it.
• Planned release date: Monday, August 15th, 2011
• Note: A seed for MySQL should be provided on time.
