Production Department Coordinator (Sigrid Gramlinger)
- Joomla 8 sprint in preparation. We will have two live feedback sessions on Friday 17 CEST (15 UTC) and Saturday at 17 CEST (15 UTC)
- https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/45645 A proposal for a installable demo site for Joomla. Seems promising but there are open questions.
CMS Release Team (Benjamin Trenkle)
- Joomla! 5.4 Beta 2 released
- Joomla! 6.0 Beta 2 released
Automated Testing Team (Allon Moritz)
- Migration to Github workflow is completed. We are still improving it, but tests are running fine now, with edge and chrome. Firefox is on the todo list.
- The Drone server does now only build the nightly releases and pr builds. Therefore it doesn’t fall into the responsibility of the ATT team anymore. We are handing it over to the release team. Robert Deutz is cleaning it up and updating it to the most recent ubuntu version. At the same time he disabled some Drone Runners to save some money as we now use much less resources for Drone. Older builds are now also removed including artefacts and logs, which saves a big amount of disk space, as we got regularly in the past, full disk errors. Thank you very much for this hard work Robert!
