Hi all, As a reminder, we're trying to close out work on 0.16 this week so that we can release next week. As you can see on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Arrow+0.16.0+Release, we're making good progress. That said, there are still a decent number of open/in-progress issues tagged for 0.16, probably more than can realistically land this week.
I'd encourage everyone to have a look at that board and do a few things: * For tickets that you're "assigned" to (i.e. you're working on them), if you're not expecting to merge them this week, please push the fixVersion back to 1.0.0 so they're out of scope. If they land in time, great, but let's move the nonessential tasks out of the way. * For tickets that you reported and haven't been picked up, please review whether you think you can do them this week (or know someone who can), and bump to 1.0 those that aren't going to happen. * Otherwise review the areas of the project that you work on and make sure things are release-ready (including documentation) Also, as I mentioned yesterday, I've started a draft release announcement here: https://github.com/apache/arrow-site/pull/41. Please fill in where you can. Looking forward to a smooth release. Thanks to everyone for pitching in. Neal
