Hi everyone!

We just had a hangout discussion (see previous mails for minutes and
recording) where we talked about getting the first incubator release of
Flink out.

Legal is blocked on the trademark issue until we make a release and we
thought it cannot hurt to get the process started soon, because the first
release is going to take a while.


A suggestion we came up was to:

 - Do a feature-freeze now, collect a shortlist of crucial bugs (not even
"important enhancements") to fix, and start with the release process very
soon.

 - Concurrently add the critical improvements and other upcoming feature
patches to a different branch.

 - Once the release has been cleared and the release is out there, we
rebase the feature branch and continue from there.

It would give us the advantage to get out of the name limbo soon and
pipeline the legal overhead for the first release. The successive release
could be very soon after the initial one.

How do you feel about this?

Greetings,
Stephan
