Hi Suresh, I would say don't freeze develop, let it go forward instead freeze the master and only apply bug fixes. This bug fixes must go to both develop and master branches.
rest of the plan looks good to me. Thanks, Shameera. On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 10:36 AM Suresh Marru <sma...@apache.org> wrote: Hi All, We really need to get this release out. I will start working on it. Please input any suggestions/blocker on this time line: * Merge develop to master (end of day today) and freeze develop * Test the master and prepare for release. * Target wednesday for RC1 - branch master to 0.17-release-branch * Merge any changes from master (during release preparation) to develop. Open develop for 0.18 development. * If any further changes happen to 0.17-release-branch we need to make sure they are merged to develop as well. Thoughts, objections?

I can volunteer to be the release manager for 0.17.
