Hello Everyone, I think we have one more last effort and we should be more vocal, explicit and active and make some campaign about the approaching Airflow 1.10 End-Of-Life.
Let me know what you think? More context: The EOL for Airflow 1.10 is approaching fast. It's a MONTH from now: *June 17, 2021* (and I love it !). We've almost dropped all the baggage that it brought, but we keep on seeing some people still installing Airflow 1.10.12 (for example) as a "fresh" installation. I noticed that it's not really "prominently" displayed that 1.10 EOL is in June. When I looked for this information it's kind of missing: * you won't find it in the README.md https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/README.md * you won't find it in the main documentation page of Airflow: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/index.html * you won't find it at the installation page: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/installation.html * you won't even explicitly find it in the upgrading page: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/upgrading-to-2.html The message there is "We strongly recommend that all users upgrading to Airflow 2.0, first upgrade to Airflow 1.10.15 and test their Airflow deployment and only then upgrade to Airflow 2.0. The Airflow 1.10.x release tree will be supported for six months from Airflow 2.0 release date." (of course you can calculate that but it requires looking up when Airflow 2.0 was released) * you won't even find it in our Planning page for Airflow 2.0: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/Airflow+2.0+-+Planning Should we make some more: * prominent changes to documentation/READMEs to explicitly state the date? * twitter/linkedin/social campaign announcing that the "end is near" ? * slack campaign with pinned reminder messages ? * banner on our website? * should we use Airflow Summit as a vehicle /campaign/announcements ?
