Request for Platform 1.11.6 Maintenance Release

Yes i love the dev stages, but not when they get in the way of some one who is ready to make something happen.

Dev stages should never get in our way. If you ever feel that dev stages are preventing us from doing something we should be doing, then please let me know immediately. Having someone inexperienced perform a release on their own might get in the way and dev stages can help us recognize and communicate that issue (as @darius demonstrated).

@dkayiwa

Can’t we be a bit more flexible and let him do it with the guidance of some mentor.

This is a great question. I agree empowering people to “reach beyond their stage” through mentorship is a great model and can help people reach higher stages of developer collaboration.

This would adjust @darius’ summary to this:

@darius (revised)

Since your implementation doesn’t have a /dev/3 and you are asking for the OpenMRS community to do this release, either:

(1) someone will volunteer to do this soon (2) a /dev/3+ could volunteer to mentor you through the release process (3) otherwise, the current Community Dev Lead will add this to the community to-do list, and prioritize it against ongoing things like community-priority tickets and code reviews. (And this should typically take somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks.)
