Hello,
as we have the plan to release Neos 9.0 as soon as possible, we want to apply for another funding. This is to ensure that anyone who wants to reserve some time to work dedicated and focused on any Neos 9.0 release-critical issues will be financially backed.
What do we plan to work on?
To focus on the important tasks for the release, we collectively decided on a list of topics, that need to be tackled before a Neos 9.0 release. This is called the list of “Neos 9.0 elephants”.
The funding shall help us to get a big step forward and to finish most of our elephants on the list. Goal is to stabilize the current state and finish the relevant open tasks.
Our main “elephants” are (see also Neos 9.0 elephants):
- Performance improvements
- Policies / Security
- Setup and Migration
- Documentation and Public API
Also we have a lot of already known bugs we need to tackle before the release.
Who will work on this?
In general anyone is welcome to work on the elephants. Please suggest your project in our core weekly (fridays, 11:15am, #neos-core-dev) so we can coordinate your efforts and align with the team.
The following team members have currently committed to working on these topics:
- Bastian
- Bernhard
- Christian
- Denny
- Marc Henry
- Sebastian H
What do we need?
We would like to apply for a common funding of 30.000 €.
As it’s hard to put the remaining work into packages, assigned to a person, as we do the funding requests usually, we decided to request a common budget for the team and to distribute that internally, based on the tracked working time.
We will track our efforts in a dedicated spreadsheet to keep an overview of the budget and a later billing. Also we will align in the core weekly meetings (fridays, 11:15am CET, #neos-core-dev).
If we need less than the expected amount, we would give the left over budget back into the funding budget at the end of this year.
Please add your vote in the voting below and feel free to ask questions or give feedback in the thread.
Thank you very much!
