Foreman 3.9

• Release owner: @Griffin-Sullivan
• Release engineer: @Zhunting

Foreman 3.8

• Need to do some Redmine bookkeeping
  • Close 3.8.0 - Foreman
  • Create Foreman 3.8.1
  • Update 3.8.0 release TODO - Foreman & 3.8.0 release DONE - Foreman to work on 3.8.1.

Foreman 3.7

• 3.7.1 release process posted: Foreman 3.7.1 release process
  • Either released today or early next week due to people having time off on Thursday and releasing on Friday is a bad practice.

Katello 4.11

• Release owner: @iballou
• Release engineer: @Odilhao
• Work under way to update Pulp from 3.28 to 3.40. Given how close branching is, this may be tight.
  • @Odilhao is working on the packaging side of it.
  • Verification used to happen with pulp-installer, but that’s discontinued so @Odilhao and @ekohl will discuss using the foreman-installer parts to verify Pulp as part of the release pipeline

Katello 4.10

• 4.10.0 announced GA: Katello 4.10.0 GA is now available

Katello 4.9

• No updates

Other

• We used to increase release team meeting to twice a week around branching, but didn’t do so in the past few releases. Starting stabilization week we’ll also meet on Mondays.
