It is encouraged to continuously updating the 1.19 wiki page[1] for contributors. - FLINK-33528 Externalize Python connector code[2], volunteers on the related connectors are welcome! - Voting for flink-shaded[3] version 1.18.0 is still open, binding votes are needed! - *Blockers* - [closed] external connectors compilation failure cause by FLINK-25857, discussion thread[3] - [potential blocker] the new JUnit5 fails to delete a directory on AZP for various table-planner tests FLINK-33641[4] - *Sync meeting* (https://meet.google.com/vcx-arzs-trv) The next scheduled release time sync is *December 26, 2023*, but given that it falls during the Christmas holidays, we'd like to hear your suggestions on whether to skip this sync? If we don't receive feedback by *December 25*, the sync will go on as usual. Lastly, we encourage attendees to fill out the topics to be discussed at the bottom of 1.19 wiki page[1] a day in advance, make it easier for everyone to understand the background of the topics.
