M=E5nedens tema er =ABRelease Management in Large Free Software Projects=BB:

  Release management can be quite challenging in free software
  projects since the work of many distributed developers needs to be
  finished at the same time so it can be integrated and tested for the
  next release. It is particularly challenging in free software
  projects which mainly consist of volunteers because there is little
  control over the work performed by contributors.

  This talk will discuss what kind of problems free software projects
  face during release preparations and investigate how large volunteer
  teams can make releases on time and with high levels of quality. In
  particular, the focus will be on the time based release
  strategy. Instead of making release when particular functionality or
  set of features have been implemented, time based releases are made
  according to a specific time interval. This talk will argue that
  time based release management acts as an effective coordination
  mechanism in large volunteer projects and will show examples from a
  number of projects, including GNOME and X.org.

Martin Michlmayr has been involved in various free software projects
for over 10 years. He used to be the Volunteer Coordinator for the
GNUstep Project and acted as Publicity Director for Linux
International. In 2000, Martin joined the Debian Project, and he was
later elected Debian Project Leader (DPL) as which he acted for two
years. Martin holds Master degrees in Philosophy, Psychology and
Software Engineering. He's currently completing a PhD at the
University of Cambridge about quality management in free software
projects.
