Hello, Eclipse Tractus-X Community!

Collaboration drives the success of Eclipse Tractus-X, and we are excited to invite you to the Release Planning sessions for R25.12! These sessions are your chance to shape the roadmap, align with the community, and ensure a well-structured release.

Key Information:

  • 📅 Dates and Times: Listed for each session below.
  • 📂 Resources: Visit our open meetings page for all session links and additional documentation.
  • 🔗 Preparation Materials: Ensure readiness by reviewing the provided templates, guidelines, and your own features.

We look forward to seeing you there and working together to make R25.12 a success!

Alignment Day for R25.12​

The Alignment Day focuses on addressing open questions and unresolved dependencies from features planned for Release 25.12. This means we are highly dependent on your questions. We want to align and get a better understanding about the related features. This meeting is a possibility to connect. Even if you don't have questions, it could be interesting anyway.

Agenda​

info

The agenda itself is dependent on the labeled features.

  • 09:05 - 09:30: Welcome and overview of Open Discussion features
  • 09:30 - 11:30: Group discussions and breakout sessions as needed
  • 11:30 - 12:00: Optional closing and documentation of decisions

Key Focus Areas​

  • Only features labeled Open Discussion will be considered for the agenda.
  • The label must be added at least 3 days prior to the event.
  • This is not a planning or refinement session — it’s a space to align on open questions and clarify remaining uncertainties.
  • Feature owners should be ready to describe their needs or concerns.
  • Component developers can use this session to clarify what is expected from them.

Open Planning for R25.12​

Your participation is crucial to ensure the success of the release planning. Expert Groups, Committees, the open-source community (contributor and committer), feature requesters are encouraged to attend and actively engage in the discussions.

Here’s the plan for the day:

  • 09:05 - 09:30: Open Planning - Vision & Introduction

Please note:
  • The agenda provides a rough time structure to help guide the session. The timings are not fixed and can be adjusted depending on the flow of the discussion.
  • Use the agenda as orientation, but we may deviate if needed based on progress.

Prerequisites for features to be considered in Open Planning​

For a feature to be included in the Open Planning, the following conditions must be met:

  • Status must be 'Backlog' – Committers and Expert Groups can set this status after the feature is fully refined.
  • All categories in the feature template must be filled – Do not delete any sections from the template.
  • Milestone is NOT set – This will be assigned during the Open Planning session.
  • Contributor and Committer must be assigned.
  • Topic/Product must be set.

During the session, if there is a common alignment among the participants, the feature milestone can be set to 25.12, meaning it will be developed in the upcoming release.

Important Notes and Hints​

  • Keep the board clean – there are still features with older milestones that have not yet been completed.
  • Do not delete any sections from the feature template, except for KITs.
  • For KITs, only the Contributor, Committer, and Description fields need to be filled.

For any questions or further information, feel free to reach out via our mailing list or join us in the Tractus-X Matrix channel.

We look forward to your participation and collaboration! 🚀
