Added detail to the release process. Not completely sure on all of this so I welcome discussion.

This metric is part of the continuous release process and has passed the 30 day comment period. This metric could, possibly, be edited prior to the regular release.

@klumb where are we on this PR? I am referencing the community handbook in the CHAOSS weekly and it would be great to get the update merged.

[klumb]

@GeorgLink I accepted your review changes. I would be comfortable merging this.

[klumb]

However for some reason it DCO is failing now.

[GeorgLink]

That's unfortunate :(

Hi @klumb
I am really not sure about this problem, but I think I have a workaround for this.
Maybe you can try on one commit and see if this thing works.
You can revert back the change if it doesn't.

I think that the sign-off is missing in the last two commits. Try adding your sign-off.

You need to edit the existing commit message. Just try adding this to the last commit and check if it is working. You can do this by

$ git commit --ammend

This should open an editor for editing the commit message. Add your sign-off and force push.

$ git push -f origin branch_name

I hope it helps.

Hi @klumb

I checked the error log of DCO. You can also do the same by clicking the Details beside the DCO check in this PR.

I was correct, the sign-off was missing in the last two commits which led to the failure.
I have found another workaround from the DCO help.

git rebase HEAD~3 --signoff
git push --force-with-lease origin master

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or trouble.

Would anyone mind if I set the DCO to pass? I am sure it is from Georg's commits.

[GeorgLink]

no, I don't mind. We can squash merge and then it will not show up in the git log
