Scope and Timeline for Puppet Platform 6.0.9

[Nirupama Mantha]

Now that Puppet Platform 6.0.8 has been released, I would like to draw your attention to the scope and timeline for the next release in the 6.0.z series, Puppet Platform 6.0.9.

Scope

The scope of this release includes fixes for security vulnerabilities and problems with Puppet Platform 6.0.8 that are found by the community. Code for this release should land on the ‘6.0.x’ branch (and corresponding component branches) for puppet-agent, PuppetDB, and Puppet Server.

Timeline

The “Stop Ship Line” milestones, by which time all planned code changes must be complete, are targeted for July 5 (puppet-agent) and July 8 (PuppetDB and Puppet Server).

This means that all work for the release needs to be planned during the next twelve weeks, with the goal of shipping the release on July 16.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of this, please let me know.

Thanks,
