Lots of people seem to have an interest in keeping stable branches around, but very few actually understand what stable branch maintenance actually involves. This talk will cover what stable branch maintenance in the community actually means, how it works in practice, and where help is needed.
Attendees will learn what doing stable branch maintenance in the community actually involves, how it works in practice, and areas where help is really needed.
