Hi Suresh, All

I'm ok with the schedule. I would like to make sure https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/10632 goes in the release :)

Best regards,
João Jandre

Hi All,

We've so far closed 109 Issues and PRs in the 4.21.0 milestone [1]. There
are still some targeted items to finish, so I would like to postpone the
4.21.0 release for at least a week.

Here is the updated timelines:

- (Ongoing) till last week of Jul 2025: Accept all PRs for the bug fixes,
improvements, features
- (1 week) last week of Jul 2025: Accept any critical/blocker fixes and
stabilise main/4.21 branch
- (1 week) end of Jul 2025, first week of Aug 2025 onwards: Cut 4.21.0 RC1
(and further RCs if necessary), start & conclude vote, and finish release
work

Looking forward to your support, mainly on the reviews & tests for the
outstanding PRs [2]. Also, please resolve any conflicts in your PRs,
address the outstanding comments and share the test results. Thanks.

Please let me know if you have any feedback, thoughts.

Hi All,

I want to propose and put myself forward as the release manager for
4.21.0 if there are no objections. I've previously RM'd 4.16.1.0 & 4.19.1.0
releases, and co-RM'd some releases before that. I hope that experiences
will help me here, for a successful release.

I think, for 4.21.0, we can accept any features, improvements and bug
fixes in the next few months until May-2025, and aim to cut RC in Q2 2025
(sometime in Jun-2025). Please ping me (@sureshanaparti) on GitHub, in case
you want to include any Issues/PRs in 4.21.0. I'll propose the timeline
details soon.

I hope to have your support. Please let me know if you have any
thoughts/comments.

Regards,
Suresh
