Hello Beam community! The next release (2.51.0) branch cut is scheduled for September 20, 2023, one week from today, according to the release calendar [1].
I'd like to volunteer to perform this release. My plan is to cut the branch on that date, and cherrypick release-blocking fixes afterwards, if any. Please help me make sure the release goes smoothly by: - Making sure that any unresolved release blocking issues for 2.51.0 should have their "Milestone" marked as "2.51.0 Release" as soon as possible. - Reviewing the current release blockers [2] and remove the Milestone if they don't meet the criteria at [3]. There are currently 12 release blockers. Let me know if you have any comments/objections/questions. Thanks, Kenn [1] https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=0p73sl034k80oob7seouanigd0%40group.calendar.google.com [2] https://github.com/apache/beam/milestone/15 [3] https://beam.apache.org/contribute/release-blocking/
