Hi all, I've created https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Arrow+3.0.0+Release, cloned from our previous release dashboards, for our upcoming release. A few things I'd like to draw your attention to:
* Blockers: there are 5 currently. I'm not certain that they all are blockers, nor am I sure that there aren't other blockers. I know we've had some issues lately with python wheel builds, and I've added a couple of known issues, but there may be others. If you know of other release blockers, please note them. * There are over 300 unstarted issues tagged for 3.0.0. Given holiday schedules and the release target in the first week of January, that's at least 200 too many. Please review your backlogs and start bumping things out of scope. I've added a 4.0.0 version that you can move things to, if you want. * Release process improvements: there was some discussion a few weeks ago about what could be done to make it easier to cut releases ( https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r2257603c91336c042633f2bc480f34f58c02d9c67ff1ee1a212933b5%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E). A few tasks were mentioned in that thread. If anyone is going to take action, now would be a good time. Thanks, Neal
