Hi everyone, "Nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel" [1] aka "There is always a next release". With the announcement of Flink 1.17, we have entered the next release cycle and with it comes the usual routine:
- Release Managers I'd like to volunteer as one of the release managers this time. It has been good practice to have a team of release managers from different backgrounds, so please raise you hand if you'd like to volunteer and get involved. - Timeline Flink 1.17 was released yesterday. With a target release cycle of 4 months, we should aim for a feature freeze around the end of June. - Collecting Features While we are assembling the release management team over the next days and without anticipating the outcome of any process changes the release management team might want to try out, I think, we can already start collecting features as usual on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/1.18+Release. - Feedback As Matthias already mentioned in the release announcement: if there is any feedback on the release process or wishes for the future, please share it with any of the Flink 1.17 release managers (Matthias, Martijn, Lenard and Qingsheng) or simply in this thread here.
