The first stable release is our next major project-wide goal; see discussion in [1]. I've been referring to it as "the first stable release" for a long time, not "1.0.0" or "2.0.0" or "2017" or something else, to make sure we have an unbiased discussion and a consensus-based decision on this matter.
I think that now is the time to consider the appropriate designation for our first stable release, and formally make a decision on it. A reasonable choices could be "1.0.0" or "2.0.0", perhaps there are others. 1.0.0: * It logically comes after the current series, 0.x.y. * Most people would expect it, I suppose. * A possible confusion between Dataflow SDKs and Beam SDKs carrying the same number. 2.0.0: * Follows the pattern some other projects have taken -- continuing their version numbering scheme from their previous origin. * Better communicates project's roots, and degree of maturity. * May be unexpected to some users. I'd invite everyone to share their thoughts and preferences -- names are important and well correlated with success. Thanks!
