[LLVMdev] Volunteers needed for LLVM Release Team

[Tanya M. Lattner]

LLVMers,

As LLVM grows and begins to support more targets and more frontends, its 
becoming a very large task to qualify a release. Therefore, I'm seeking a 
couple of active members of the community to volunteer to be a part of the 
LLVM release team (for 2.6+). This does not replace general user testing 
during the release process.

Members of this LLVM Release Team will need to be very meticulous in 
following instructions for release building and testing. They need to be 
consistent, reliable, and have an eye for detail. They will also need to 
be able to dedicate time to qualify a release every 3-4 months. 
Qualification can take as little as a day, but can also take 1-2 weeks. 
Each release has a minimum of 2 release candidates and takes a minimum of 
1 month to complete a release. I will provide instructions on how to 
qualify the releases initially, but this process can evolve over time with 
input from the release team.

Ideally, I'd like to have a volunteer for each target that we have 
traditionally supported and those in active use/development.  If you see a 
target that you would like to volunteer to qualify not listed here, please 
let me know.

1) Mac OS 10.5 x86 (I will qualify this target)
2) Mac OS 10.5 PPC
3) Linux x86
4) Mingw x86 (Anton do you want to continue this?)
5) Linux AMD64

If you are interested in being a part of this team, please send me an 
email with information about yourself, what target you want to own for 
releases, and why you want to be a part of the release team.

I hope to have this team in place for the 2.6 release (~Apr/May/Jun).

Thanks,
Tanya Lattner
