Release Branch for Opencast 15 Cut

[Arne Wilken]

Hi everyone,
the Opencast 15 release branch (r/15.x) has been

cut.  Please check if pull requests point to the correct branch.

Right now, the release and upgrade notes for Opencast 15 are still missing. They will be added later in the day. We apologize for the inconvenience.

For a guide on what you can still add to release branches, please refer to

  https://docs.opencast.org/develop/developer/#participate/development-process/#acceptance-criteria-for-patches-in-different-versions


Remember the release schedule for this release:

Date                Phase
-------------------------------------------
29.11.2023    Translation week
06.12.2023    Public QA phase
13.12.2023    Release of Opencast 15.0

As always, we hope to have a lot of people testing this
version, especially during the public QA phase. Please
report any bugs or issues you encounter.

For testing, you may use https://stable.opencast.org if you
do not want to set up a test server yourself. The server is
reset on a daily basis and will follow the new release
branch with its next rebuild.

Additionally, look out for announcements regarding container
and package builds for testing on list if you want to run
your own system but do not want to build Opencast from
source.

Looking forward to a successful release,
Berthold and Arne
