[Action Required] Release process of OpenMRS 2.2 and coming OpenMRS 2.x releases

[Sri Maurya Kummamuru]

Hello All,

OpenMRS 2.x releases are different than OpenMRS platform releases (1.11.0). Platform releases usually consist of alpha, beta releases and have Sprints to complete tickets in a short span of time. OpenMRS 2.x is a collection of modules and hence its release consists of releasing all the modules planned to be release in SNAPSHOT version and testing if all of them function collectively. 

In the case of OpenMRS  2.2, the release is planned on March 31^st. Though the testing might not be as extensive as a Platform release, a user acceptance testing is necessary. This is scheduled around mid – March to Late mid – March. This is a very short period of time but for this to happen all the modules that are in planned to be released in OpenMRS  2.2 need to be in a release ready state and we need your collective collaboration on making this happen.

This page in OpenMRS talk - https://talk.openmrs.org/t/openmrs-2-2-release-management/1247/1 -  will act as a Release management area for OpenMRS 2.2 and I request you to go through the page if you are responsible for any of the OpenMRS modules or contribute to any of the modules or would like to know the status of the release.

This will be a collective effort and each one of your contribution will make it better.

--Thank you, 

Sri Maurya Kummamuru
