When would be a good time for to make 1.3? Calcite 1.2 was baked on April 7th and announced on April 17th. How about we aim for this:
* May 8th (Friday) - enter stabilization (see below) * May 12th (Tuesday) - first release candidate * May 22nd (Friday) - release announcement If dependent projects would like a different schedule, please speak up. I'd like to try a different QA process this release. Recall that last time, Vladimir discovered an issue with time zones on the first release candidate. I'd like to discover issues like that before we move to an RC vote. I propose that we have a stabilization period, during which, each stakeholder would validate the release and log any issues they find as jira cases. For example, Vladimir would pull the latest and run the test suite in the Moscow time zone. Nick would run through Phoenix tests. And so forth. I'd push a new snapshot at the start of the stabilization period, but people can test on any commit that happens after that. I propose that we enter stabilization on Friday May 8th. Would anyone like to be release manager? (He asked with a sigh.) Let's hear +1 or -1 for this schedule and the proposed stabilization process. Julian
