Feb-03, Tuesday: release-candidate #0 will be out for vote by the community 4. Feb-10, Tuesday: tentative completion of the vote 5. Feb-13, Friday: tentative release date If you are looking to include any fixes/updates in 2.8.0 release, please make sure to land them in the release branch by Jan-30, Friday.
