[Announcements] Sakai QA Director

[Michael Korcuska-2]

I'm writing to let you know that as of December 18 Pete Peterson,  
currently Sakai QA Director, will be returning to his duties at UC  
Davis.

This will leave a vacancy on the Sakai staff. I'm using this moment to  
rethink the role to some degree at least. The QA process has typically  
benefitted from an individual paying close attention to the details of  
the many Jira issues and svn commits that make up the release. The  
volume of issues and attention to detail required are both relatively  
high. At the same time I also believe that we are ripe for a strategic  
rethinking of how we manage QA in Sakai and to help the community  
institute new processes and, especially, to implement a variety of  
test automation tools and techniques. I'm not optimistic I can fill  
both of these needs with one person which, as you might expect, is all  
I currently have in the budget. I'm open to feedback and advice on  
this matter so please get in touch if you have something you'd like to  
share.

I want to thank Pete for his contributions to the Sakai QA efforts  
over the past year. We wish him well at UC Davis and we're sure we  
will continue to hear from him in the community. At least I hope we  
will!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Michael

Michael,
I've know a couple of amazing QA director folks over the years. I  
don't know if any of them would be interested in either helping you  
think about the position or applying for the position but I could drop  
them a line. One of them is a real sweet-heart, the other is a  
brilliant QA director but a bit erasable. (Ah, it's always a good day  
when you can use the word erasable.)
