Hi,

yes, I proposed some weeks ago a best effort to have a release every two months.

I'm also volunteer to do those releases and iteratively improve the process.

Regards
JB

Our team works on tensorflow.transform <https://github.com/tensorflow/transform> (which depends on Apache Beam) and a regular Beam release cadence would make our releases a lot easier (eg our 0.5 release will likely require and depend on Beam 2.3).

Is the plan to make "regular" something like monthly or something along those 
lines?
If a release train is fairly regular then it's easy to forego new features and wait for the next release, but if it is uncertain, votes might unnecessarily block releases.

    +1! I like the predictability a schedule would bring. And I think it helps
    feature users to budget their time a little better -- there's always the
    next scheduled train, so no need to stress out to ship in the current one.

        to improve automation is a great idea.

        Features can make the next release, and backwards incompatible
        refinements should have quiesced long before a feature comes out of
        @Experimental status.

            +1 - this is definitely one of the (multiple) things that delayed
            2.2.0. In my opinion releases should be held up for critical bug
            fixes, but not for features. Any feature work can always go into
            2.4.0, and with any luck we can get 2.3.0 out much faster than 
2.2.0.

                +1 for starting the 2.3 ball rolling.

                In general, I'd like to avoid holding up releases for specific
                features/PRs. The is (one of the things) that holds up releases
                which
                then is a vicious cycle for more people wanting to make their
                feature
                a condition of the next release, etc. (Bugs, regressions, and
                backwards-incompatible refinements to new features are fair
                candidates
                as the need arises...)
