Hi,<br>
<br>
I spent half of last week and week-end in Warsaw, working with the
Thunderbird team and fellow contributors. This has been four intense
days of discussions, ideas exploration and planning. Pretty
exhausting but inspiring and replenishing with positive energy. A
lot of what has been discussed was based on the conversations that
have happened before last week end, either in this mailing list,
through email threads or shared etherpads. I want to thank all of
you who have shown interest in defining the future of Thunderbird,
regardless of whether you could make it to Warsaw or not (see the
Filelink below for the Warsaw discussion support material). <br>
<br>
A lot has been added to this material over these 4 days and I hope
we have captured most of it in various documents (see below). I
definitely think we radically have moved the cursor forward, both
by helping understanding what composes Thunderbird today and how it
is built, as well as identifying how as a global community, we are
going to continue to support the project in the future. But we're
not quite there yet. More specifically, we need to answer the
remaining questions, wherever possible, and share our knowledge and
resolutions in a single document that will represent the up-to-date
'Governance and Release model for Thunderbird' moving forward.<br>
<br>
I would like to suggest we keep the structure of the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Proposal:_New_Release_and_Governance_Model">current
proposal</a> and augment it with both their corresponding Etherpad
as well as the content of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/notes06092012-thunderbird">these
4 days discussions</a>. We should aim at release a first version
of the model by then end of September (Sept 28th).<br>
In order to achieve that, I think we need some 'reporters' to
volunteer and drive conversations on the following subjects to
conclusion (wherever possible). I am going to assume the people who
have agreed to summarize Warsaw's conversations could possibly
volunteer for this last round of community-wide conversation, as
stated below (if you are one of them and don't feel comfortable with
the assignment, please feel absolutely free to push back: I hope
someone will stand up and keep the ball rolling). <br>
If any of you have a different or better idea on what the next steps
should be, please chime in !<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Let's continue to drive the new governance through the last miles so
we can write together the new chapter of Thunderbird's life.<br>
