[OpenSIPS-Users] [RFC] New Release Policy for OpenSIPS project

[Saúl Ibarra Corretgé]

Hi Bogdan,

> copying from another answer of mine: Keep in mind that all the time a new release will be a set of new features, so basically all releases are also featured driven. But to make it more predictable, we consider some time limits (for a release cycle) - limits are quite large 5 to 7 months, so we have flexibility to fit various sets of features in that interval. The main idea with time-based cycles is to try to control how long will take for have the next release (more predictable, without large gaps between releases) and also to speed up the features delivery (having a faster cycle, features will be available in stable versions quicker).

Ok, so it's more of a hybrid thing. In that case I'd be k with it, if we allow for some flexibility in case we were a bit too optimistic with the planning ;-)

2 years sounds about right.

Thanks for doing this in the Open, Bogdan :-)

Kind regards,
