From our analysis and interviews, we identified the four major challenges that release managers face in the GNOME ecosystem, they: (1) need to coordinate projects and teams of volunteers without direct power over them (2) keep the build process manageable (3) monitor for unplanned changes, and (4) test the GNOME release.
The project administrators instructed and coordinated the team and maintained the data collection forms and equipment.
HLG further contributed to data analysis, coordinated the project, and led the writing team.
Building on top of these contributions, this paper considers the communication needs to coordinate multiple teams and projects in software ecosystems with focus on release management.
