During the Liferay 6.2 development cycle many of you participated in BugSquad and the Community Beta programs in order to provide valuable feedback and bug reports. This worked really well and we got a lot of positive feedback from over 70 participants in the program - so guess what - we're doing it again for Liferay 7!
Liferay 7 Community Expedition
In keeping with Jorge's adventuring theme, let me be the first to introduce you to the Liferay 7 Community Expedition! The goal is to make sure Liferay 7 meets your needs, and the rest of the community, with the quality and consistency you'd expect. This time around the program will be hosted on the Liferay Developer Network which should give us a great-looking site, better coordination and better personalization. This expedition, should you accept the challenge, will take you on a journey from our current Milestones through the final release of Liferay 7 and possibly beyond. You'll experience firsthand the awesomeness going into Liferay and see why everyone is so pumped up for this major release. We will focus on major feature areas like Web Content Management, Staging, Collab & Doc Management, Business Productivity, UI Infrastructure, Administration, Dev Tooling, and much more! Check out the signup form when joining for more information about what we'll focus on for the next Milestone.
Joining the Expedition
By this point I know what you are thinking: "How can I help!". I'm glad you asked! As you know, we are doing a preview/milestone release of Liferay 7 every 2 months. We need your help to review the development of Liferay 7, try out the new features, hunt for bugs, and give your feedback on which Liferay relies so heavily. So here's what to do:
- Sign up for the expedition. This lets us know who you are and more importantly lets us know what your interests are so we can customize your experience and get to know you better. Once you sign up, we'll send you more details.
- When the Milestone is released, expedition organizers (new recruit but experienced Liferay guy Jamie Sammons and myself) will send a detailed list of what's new in the Milestone, and what to focus on, along with specific instructions about how to use the Milestone. Download the Milestone and read the instructions.
- After trying out the Milestone, provide feedback on the Expedition Site (more information on this site after you sign up!).
- If you run into problems, or have questions, don't despair! Expedition leaders (many of our community and engineering experts) will be identified for each release that will be more than happy to assist.
All participants that contribute to the release will receive a small gift for contributing (that's me over there --> modelling the 6.2 shirt!), to proudly show you were part of the Liferay 7 release. You'll also learn a lot about the release, and get to know many core developers in the community, establish lasting relationships with others in the community, learn a little, and perhaps share a little. It's going to be a lot of fun! And best of all, w e are starting the expedition NOW! Liferay 7 Milestone 4 is out soon (this week or next) so there is no time to waste. Sign up for the Expedition and keep watching your Inbox, and th ank you for helping to make Liferay 7 an amazing and revolutionary platform for our entire community! We look forward to your involvement in Milestone 4 and beyond!
