Architectural Blueprint discussions - 

• Discussions being documented and linked to from the TC's wiki, but the documents aren't necessarily public. Opened to the group that is collaborating until the design/discussion has reached the point where public review makes sense. We'll continue to get updates at the TC.

Pick up discussion from last week's Presentation/discussion.

We landed on the idea that there are 2 streams of releases:

• One based on the LTS/annual release frequency.
• Another based on a quarterly release frequency.
• Annually (when the LTS is released) these two are identical in functionality and will be released at the same time.
• We tentatively agreed that this naming convention could make sense:
  • LTS: YYYY-MM-SEQ where:
    • YYYY-MM is the year-month of the original LTS release
    • SEQ is a sequence starting with 01. So if there's ever a maintenance release it would increment (ie. YYYY-MM-02)
  • Quarterly releases: YYYY-Qn-SEQ where:
    • YYYY-Qn is the Year-Quarter Number (i.e. 2020-Q3)
    • SEQ is a sequence starting with 01. So if there's ever a maintenance release it would increment (i.e. 2020-Q3-02)

We went over so we'll start with this next week to see if there's still agreement and discuss next steps.
