Timing of the next release hasn't been decided. The previous release team is supposed to take care of it. On the last meeting of the release team the proposed times were October / late August. https://pad.easter-eggs.com/p/guix-release. June seemed too soon, it would basically mean starting in late March, quite soon after the previous release. And it had seemed likely the core-packages-team would fall to the freeze period. I am not sure what the current state of core-packages-team is, but I believe it would be nice to coordinate with them. Both due to the team having effect on everything in Guix, and because it would be nice to have more up to date coreutils and so on. If the team merge falled into the freeze period, I am afraid the core packages team could face a lot of trouble waiting for being able to merge to master, facing a lot of conflicts / build failures. This of course can affect also other teams, but to me it seems the order of magnitude is lower (or does someone disagree with this? I do not have that much insight into this, so this is just naively building on the fact that everything in Guix depends on it) The problem with starting around this time could be that many people choose to go on vacation during the summer. So they might not be as available in July / August / September. But always it depends on the people who would actually be on the team, of course. As you suggest, it would be nice to find a new release team and start preparing the actual timeline the team will be able to follow. I believe that next year the schedule could then be followed, having a release in June, as proposed by the GCD. I am still pending to submit some changes to the release process repo, https://codeberg.org/guix/release-planning/pulls/7, and I am sorry I haven't done it yet. I am extremely busy with work at the moment, chasing features to release elsewhere than Guix :) Rutherther
