Dear community, almost 2 months have passed since the Flink 1.6 release and some good features for the next major release are close to completion. Therefore, I would like to discuss a possible feature freeze for Flink 1.7.
Given that we've released Flink 1.6 at the beginning of August, I would like to aim for the end of October beginning of November for the 1.7 release date. In order to have enough time for release testing, I would therefore propose the 22nd of October as the feature freeze deadline. What do you think about this date (realistic, too early, too late) and which features/issues do you think should get priority? Since every release needs a release manager, I would also volunteer for it. Cheers, Till
