Update and Migration Working Group: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:40, 19 May 2012

The Update and Migration Working Group is a Production Working Group.

Dealing with updates and migration should be a part of every Working Group that makes changes that break backward compatibility, but we need a group that can make sure that the software and tools are ready to migrate from 2.5 to 3.x. as seamlessly as possible.

Coordinators & PLT Contact

The PLT Contact for this group is Mark Dexter. The Working Group Contact for this group is Robert Jacobi.
