Milestone 18.6 review and discussion (Package Stage)

Milestone 18.6 🛳️ (Oct 10 - Nov 14)

Goals

In 18.6 we'll be primarily focused on projects with delivery commitments coming up in Q4 and Q1, ensuring these are on-track to be delivered on time before heading into the end-of-year holiday season. This includes Metadata Database for Self-Managed, Virtual Registries and Protocells/Geo commitments. Most other issues will move to Stretch goals or rescheduled for later milestones.

  1. 🚀 Advance the Product Roadmap
  2. ⚙️ Improve stability and reliability of our products
  3. ⏩ On-going projects
  4. 🧯 Burn down our bug backlog
