Quick checkins

"Supported versions" policy (Steve)

Plone 2.5.5 has been marked “unsupported” in PSC. It’s not completely clear how this was decided or who has the authority to decide it.

All board members regarded it as tacit policy that we support two major versions. Not supporting 2.5 would be a change. On the other hand, we’ve also spoken of 1-year support and need to consider the lengthening of the release cycle.

What’s the definition of “support”? Security fixes for known issues if technically feasible.

Motion by Steve:

The Plone Foundation Board will accept responsibility for determining a support policy in consultation with the Plone Foundation membership. Pending that decision, we ask that the "unsupported" marker be removed from 25.

Geir seconded
Unanimously passed.

Steve will draft notice for board review.
