Risk Management - Not sure there is anything currently in place.

• Risk Management strategies are used to identify, assess and react to any risks to that impact the project. Risks can cover a range of areas including doing or not doing something. I think we need a strategy in place to deal with things that will impact the project. We need to identify them, assess them (because not all of them may cause a problems - some could be positive!), and then decide on how to react to them (this could something as simple as defining when to include it in a release or deciding that for the moment implementing something will cause more problems that it will solve).
• Currently OFBiz has a range of external dependencies that need to be maintained. Do we have someone allocated to keep a 'watching brief' for any retiring of a release that we are using, finding out about any new releases that we may have to implement at a future date
• Does anyone assess the impact of not implementing a specific change or process for the project?
• What is the project attitude to risk? (Does the project want to keep everything low risk because we need to be able to manage and conform to the Apache release process?)
