<div name="messageBodySection" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;">Hello All,
<div><br /></div>
<div>For those of you that I’ve not yet met, quick intro. I’m Jean-Rene Branaa (aka JR) and work on the RelEng team as a Senior Software Quality Analyst. Since starting with the Foundation in early January, I’ve spent a fair amount of time meeting with folks and getting to know more about how we build and deliver our software. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>The initial outcome of that activity is the document linked below. The intent is to provide some insight into possible improvement areas based on the afore mentioned meetings/discussions. The content is segmented into three sections - people (culture), process, tools.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>This document is intended to be a living document that spurs on further discussions, so feel free to provide your comments/thoughts. If you have experience/interest in any of the areas listed, I’d be happy to discuss them further with you (and rope you in for any help you are able to provide :-)). On the other hand, if there are any areas that are not included that you feel warrant some attention/discussion, please let me know. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>On a side note, I was pleasantly surprised throughout all my discussions by the shared desire to continuously improve things. This is an excellent foundation for us to build on. </div>
<div><br /></div>

<div>Talk to you soon,</div>
