We’re going to continue to use the release90 branch. The next — and hopefully last — release candidate before the final release of NB 9.0 will be rc2.
We will need to vote on that release in the Apache PPMC and IPMC just like all other releases. There may be a need to vote multiple times, though we’re getting better at putting releases together and so, just like for the rc1, we may only need one round of votes. Anyway, I propose we use the shortened names rc2-vc1, rc2-vc2, rc2-vc3, i.e., ‘vc’ standing for ‘voting candidate’, these would be for an assumed three rounds of Apache voting for the rc2 release, though we’ll probably only need rc2-vc1. That is also the structure suggested by our mentor Bertrand. The rc2 will be the releae on which the NetCAT and beyond Community Acceptance survey will be done. Unless there are objections, I propose we use this structure. If you object, you should provide a counter proposal. Thanks, Gj On Tuesday, May 29, 2018, William L.
