• Questions/issues to raise?

6.1.1 release (James to continue as release manager)

• This is a bug fix release
• Focus is to address outstanding issues we did not have enough time to fix in 6.1.0
• Previously, we have discussed an August release. We should now determine a more concrete release schedule.
  • Proposed code freeze: mid-August
  • Final release: end of August. This coincides with the end of my contract.
• Zenodo

  • Ordering on the author list is currently alphabetical of everyone who has ever contributed to SasView

  • Jeff's proposal:

    • The release manager's name is first
    • This is followed by everyone who has made a contribution to this particular release (in alphabetical order)
    • A contribution is defined as either making a commit to any of the SasView repositories, or other significant contributions e.g. leading meetings, reviewing PRs, extensive testing
    • Followed finally by contributors who have made a contribution in any prior release (again in alphabetical order)

  • Are we happy to accept this proposal for 6.1.1? Does anyone have an alternative proposal?

  • Currently, a DOI is not generated for pre-releases. Should this change?

CI automation

• There are many tasks that need to be done manually now, but could be automated
• https://github.com/orgs/SasView/discussions/3475

• Codescene was disabled before the release.
• Are we ready to re-enable it?
