**In order to continue with our agreed release cycle as per discussion in 
[RFC#67](https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/0067-quarterly-releases.md)
 , I'd like to propose a schedule for our next TVM release: `v0.15.0`.**

This schedule is tentative and may change as we progress through the process. 
In case dates change, this thread will be kept updated.

The proposed schedule is:

- [ ] **2 Jan 2024** Following three actions should be continuous and coherent:
  - [ ] Make version modification twice as two commits: first to `v0.15.0` on 
main branch; second to `v0.16.dev0` on main branch in one PR, and **merged 
without squash (required)**. Why do this first [referring discuss on last 
release](https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/15134#issuecomment-1607649151):
  - [ ] A branch `v0.15.0` to be created from `main` on first commit: <link>
  - [ ] A tag named `v0.15.0.rc0` created on first commit: <link>
  - [ ] A tag named `v0.16.dev0` created on second commit: <link>
- [ ] **5 Jan 2024** - Cherry-picking soft deadline
  - During this time any reasonable change can be merged, comment on this issue 
with the commit you would like added to the release branch
- [ ] **9 Jan 2024** - Cherry-picking **hard deadline**
  - During this time only critical changes will be merged, comment on this 
issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch as well as the 
reasoning for adding it
- [ ] **9 Jan 2024** - Draft release notes published: <link>
- [ ] **12 Jan 2024** - [Prepare release candidate packaging `v0.16.0.rc0` and 
uploading](https://tvm.apache.org/docs/contribute/release_process.html#upload-the-release-candidate)
  - Create tag `v0.15.0.rc0` and Github release page: <link>
  - Upload to Apache repo: <link>
- [ ] **12 Jan 2024** - Release voting opens: <link>
- [ ] **18 Jan 2024**
  - [ ] Voting result: <link>
  - [ ] Create a new release tag `v0.15.0` on last commit on release branch: 
<link>
  - [ ] Upload the binaries to Apache mirrors: <link>
- [ ] **22 Jan 2024** - Release date
- [ ] **25 Jan 2024** - Update the TVM Website
