Release Process
Overview
Oolite's release process is both profound and dignified.
At the stroke of midnight in Ashoria, the Oolite developers commence marching through the streets from Holdstock Plaza towards the Hermione. Dressed in deep purple velvet robes and carrying their symbols of office (massive golden keys - for unlocking the code) resting on their left shoulders, preceded by whirling kilted pipers playing the dirge of development, they make their way goosestepping to the seat of Imperial Government.
On arrival, they ready their keys and point them at the Entrance Lock to the Hermione.
A gargantuan git opens the Lock doors and, in a gay and gleeful gambol, approaches the massed ranks of sombre developers and dances around each of them gurgling gruesomely with great gusto.
The developers, keys to the ready, advance to the door and proceed inside.
The git grovels to his hub, groaning and gurning.
The Lead Developer (or his "alternative") emerges from the Lock doors and pointing his key at the git, proceeds to shower him with cookies.
