Igniters,
Let's start a discussion about the next Apache Ignite 2.8.1 bugfix release. The following things need to be discussed: - time/deadlines - scope of the release - a release manager candidate My personal vision that the 2.8.1 release is a bugfix release, so `improvement` issues are not allowed. Anyway, it's up to the release manager which issues can be included but I think the scope must be discussed with the whole community prior to cherry-picking PRs. I've prepared the wiki page [1] with the list of current bugs which needs to be resolved and a release dates. The ignite-2.8.1 [2] branch has been also created. I propose the following dates for 2.8.1 release: Scope Freeze: April 15, 2020 Code Freeze: April 22, 2020 Voting Date: April 27, 2020 Release Date: May 1, 2020 Please, share your thoughts.
