Hi JB, Thanx for volunteering — sounds like a plan!
One thing I wanted to highlight/request: perhaps we should add a step, or even automate, updating the DOAP file as part of the post-release activities. I know it isn’t particularly critical from the project operations point of view, but ASF pages such as [2] pick up project information from there. So, it would be good to keep it updated as well. Happy to help in whichever way I can. Looking forward to 1.9.0! :-) -Ayush [1] https://github.com/apache/polaris/blob/382a54188c8ea9bbb626a6b0a7bf7a4e232ae418/doap.rdf#L47-L52 [2] https://projects.apache.org/project.html?polaris On Mon, 5 Oct 2026 at 11:51, Yong Zheng <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On 2026-10-05 05:36 UTC Jean-Baptiste Onofré wrote: > > Hi folks, > > > > In our purpose of monthly release cadence, I would like to propose to > > release Polaris 1.9.0 by the end of October. > > I'm volunteer to drive this release. > > > > In term of release scope, I would like (as best effort) to consider Polaris > > Directory (with beta flag).
