Hi to all board members,
as 4.0.0 is rolled out there should be a review about what happened:
The good points, the bad points
What can we do in the same way, what in a better way the next time?
What is needed to get it better?
A discussion may cause some budget thoughts, community handling,
marketing concepts, Whiteboards, Easy Hacks etc.
IMHO the board should be the starting point and the lead of such a
discussion to give it a direction for the whole community.
What do you think?

We will certainly do a retrospective like this from an engineering
perspective in the ESC call tomorrow - clearly there were several
lessons we already learned from this release, but getting these better
tied together would be a useful plan.
Sophie was coming up with a better timeline / set of deadlines for the
marketing / organisational things around the release put together which
(I hope) would help improve communication between teams and general
timeliness. Failing that - having a developers in the marketing calls
earlier would be helpful I think.
Discovering a load of un-translated strings very very late in the day
(from the .ui files) was another late-discovered, one-off problem
impacting translation completeness - ultimately the software is built by
humans so there will always be some problems: so far my impression is
that the release has rather reasonable quality for a .0 release - with
few-to-no catastrophic / brown-paper-bag type bugs: which is good.
Hopefully unit testing is helping with that.
HTH,
Michael.
Hello K-J,
thanks for your email. You are right but I don’t think it will be formal. However we must do it one way or another.
Best,
Charles.

I'll upload a task board and a check list on the wiki, probably next
week, with all projects involved and where communication has to flow
from one project to another. I'll inform the marketing list when it will
be ready so any body can add what I've missed 
Kind regards
Sophie

we have already discussed some aspects on the lists, but I agree that we should do a review.
Overall, I think it was a fantastic and exciting release, and you all did a great job! There is, however, some room for improvement, which I'd like to have for the next releases - in terms of translations, website and others.
Do you have certain points you'd like to highlight? If so, I propose to either discuss it in a board call, or on the discuss list, so everyone can participate.
