Dear Council,

I hope you had some relaxing holidays and I wish you a happy new year!

Thankfully, Elli and Hugh agreed to postpone the release date to January 29. This will give us a bit more time to finish some open issues.

This is our suggested timeline:

Refridge: Jan 17 (Thursday) – no major changes to the schema should be done after that; minor changes (wording, typos, examples, etc.) are fine.  
Freeze: Jan 23 (Wednesday) – no more changes can be done in the dev branch
Create release branch: Jan 24 (Thursday) – after that, only minor changes (typos) can be done in the release branch
Release: Jan 29 (Tuesday)

I added the dates to the Google calendar. Our next Council call is between refridge and freeze, on January 18.  

Best wishes,

Martina
