Hi everyone, With Flink 1.15 about to be released, the community has started planning & developing features for the next release, Flink 1.16. As such, I would like to start a discussion around managing this release.
Specifically, Chesnay & myself would like to volunteer as release managers. Our focus as release managers would be * to propose a release timeline * to provide an overview of all ongoing development threads and ideally their current status to the community * to keep an eye on build stability * facilitate release testing * to do the actual release incl. communication (blog post, etc.) Is anyone else interested in acting as a release manager for Flink 1.16? If so, we are happy to make this a joint effort. Besides the question of who will act as a release manager, I think, we can already use this thread to align on a timeline. For collecting features and everything else, we would start a dedicated threads shortly. Given Flink 1.15 will be released in the next days, and aiming for a 4 months release cycle including stabilization, this would mean *feature freeze at the end of July*. The exact date could be determined later. Any thoughts on the timeline.? Looking forward to your thoughts! Thanks, Chesnay & Konstantin
