2025.07 Release debrief from Release Manager - 5’ (Teufelchen)

  • Teufelchen: Release done

Didn’t go smooth but ok, mainly inter-op tests caused problem Need to find solution for Zephyr setup - unable to run/build reliable A lot of (automated) tests are super flaky, need to improve or delete them. They cause unnecessary stress & delay. (this is mostly IoT-Lab issues, like flashing, timeout or network errors unrelated to RIOT) all in all, a release

Outlook on upcoming 2025.10 Release

Ben missing :cry:.

Weekly Meeting Time

… discussion if meeting is needed at all and if so, how often…

  • Leandro: maybe make bot who announces meeting to remind everyone?
  • Elena: meeting only for maintainers?
  • Martine: yes
  • Bennet: can make it public!
  • Martine: … there are sometimes “internal” things we need to discuss … internally
  • Mikolai: can use time for both
  • Elena: as non-maintainer is nicer to get involved. lots of people don’t know(?)
  • Martine: so make public and poll for time?
  • Mikolai: someone has to actually be there, keep in mind.
  • Martine: do poll again, for fixed date
