I think these dates are good and must be strictly respected. It would be very bad (at least for me) to release later in August. > The following are proposed dates for 17.11 and 18.02. > > 17.11 > * Proposal deadline: August 25, 2017 As we can see in the following picture [1], we work less in August and tend to send the proposals at the last minute. [1] https://s12.postimg.org/g9uluz9u5/patchesv1.png I don't know what can be done to avoid having hard days of reviews after the August deadline. Should we cut this period before or let a bit more days? > * Integration deadline: September 29, 2017 > * Release: November 2, 2017 I'm OK for these ones. > 18.02 > * Proposal deadline: November 24, 2017 > * Integration deadline: December 29, 2017 The Christmas / New Year holidays will be from Dec 25 to Jan 1. I think we could move the integration deadline to Jan 5. > * Release: February 2, 2018 The Chinese Spring Festival will be from Feb 15 to 21. So we have a good margin. > These dates need to be discussed/agreed in the community since there are a > lot of different holidays in these periods: August holidays, Christmas, > New Year, Spring Festival.
