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

Weekly Meeting Time
- Poll to determine new times, participation low (only 10 people max)
- Attendance consistently low
… 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
