 Janne Heß | * hexa: you still in? If not I will do a discourse announcement | 09:17:16 |
 Vladimír Čunát | 🤔 the relative dates (e.g. -8 weeks) are from the end of the month? (November) | 09:19:40 |

🤔 the relative dates (e.g. -8 weeks) are from the end of the month? (November) from release | 09:22:59 |
| Janne Heß | I'd expect the release to be 29.11. so -8 weeks is 4.10. | 09:23:31 |

hexa: you still in? If not I will do a discourse announcement I think so | 09:29:13 |
| Janne Heß | maybe you could be the one to measure the time it took so we have a broad metric for future RMs :D This is the question that usually comes up | 09:29:45 |
| Janne Heß | * maybe you could be the one to measure the time it took so we have a broad metric for future RMs :D This is the first question that usually comes up | 09:29:50 |
| hexa | Sure | 09:30:05 |
| Janne Heß | I actually wanted to do that but I forgot as well :/ I can track my time as a "senior" RM though | 09:30:29 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Right, I knew that it's from the release but not when that will be this time. | 09:31:23 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * Right, I knew that it's from the release but not when that will be planned this time. | 09:31:33 |
| Janne Heß | oof and we also need a release editor :/ jonringer do you think the process of not publicly announcing the open RM position is okay? | 09:32:45 |
 tomberek | It’s usually a good way to bring in new people as well of letting people know that things are in progress, otherwise I’m sure people will start to ask. | 12:02:39 |
 jonringer | I think it's usually a good idea to still have this be open | 14:19:49 |
| jonringer | I would still do the parts and have hexa just throw in his name. | 14:20:32 |
| jonringer | hexa: i think you would do really well :) | 14:21:06 |
| jonringer | * I would still do the post and have hexa just throw in his name. | 14:25:41 |
| jonringer | The main thing that I want to avoid is it seeming like a bunch of stuff going on behind closed doors. I really like the openness in the nix community, and I would like that to be a consistent theme. | 15:15:16 |
| Vladimír Čunát | 👍️ So, both "seeming" and "being". | 15:24:32 |
| jonringer | Sure :) | 20:51:55 |

|  Winter (she/her) joined the room. | 11:49:08 |
| Winter (she/her) | Is there an example of what the release editor has to do? (Like, an example of a PR done as the editor, or something.)
I understand the role description but just want to see what that actually looks like in practice. | 11:52:11 |

I understand the role description but just want to see what that actually looks like in practice. This one comes to mind: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/174607 | 11:53:20 |
| Janne Heß | also this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/174330 | 11:53:35 |
| Janne Heß | But I guess a better source for this kind of information is Mic92 :D | 11:54:23 |
 Mic92 | @winterqt: going over the release notes and | 11:55:10 |
| Mic92 | filter out stuff and reorder things. | 11:55:21 |
| Winter (she/her) | and add missing stuff :D | 11:55:50 |
| Mic92 | I.e. making it readable. We have a lot of non-native speaker so there might be typos. | 11:55:50 |
