June 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments across repositories. Delivered storage configuration sorting in the core agama repo with device and partition-level sort, schema support for sort criteria, API refinements for SortCriteria, and comprehensive tests verifying ordering in the MD RAID search solver, along with release notes. Also improved unattended storage profile documentation for the project hub site, clarifying sorting of drives/partitions by size, updating examples, and refining partition deletion conditions and drive aliases. These efforts increased reliability, traceability, and developer clarity, and set a foundation for deterministic storage management in production.

May 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivery of RAID boot and storage deployment features, code quality improvements, and proactive communications across two repositories. Key features delivered include enabling RAID boot device support (mdRaid) with explicit booting from RAID devices, alias-based boot device resolution, and accompanying tests to ensure reliability; refactoring storage device selection to distinguish available vs candidate devices for more accurate installation and boot partition targeting; and comprehensive documentation updates covering MdRaid boot/partitioning and planned storage features. In parallel, release communications for Agama 14/15 (and roadmap updates) were prepared, and storage configuration documentation for interactive and unattended installations was improved (LVM usage, MD RAID configurations, and updated screenshots). Major bugs fixed include correcting the blog post frontmatter discussion_id to ensure proper linkage to the associated discussion thread. Overall impact: These efforts improve deployment reliability in RAID-based hardware, reduce install-time errors and support queries, and tighten the alignment between product capabilities and customer expectations through clear release notes and documentation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: MdRaid boot integration, RAID boot/configuration, boot loader configuration considerations, enhanced device discovery logic, LVM and MD RAID usage, unattended installation workflows, markdown/docs tooling, and content creation for releases and roadmaps.

April 2025 monthly summary focusing on developer experience, roadmap governance, and storage/RAID feature enhancements across two repositories (agama-project/agama-projecthub.io.git and agama-project/agama).
