Hi Apache Ignite Developers,
We seem to be on the same page about 2.8 release, but we’ve started new practice - minor releases, the first release was 2.7.5. Unfortunately, there is a couple of issues still not fixed in that release, so I would like to propose to prepare one more minor release for Apache Ignite. I propose my candidacy to be release manager once again. I could (of course with help from Peter Ivanov) do some additional efforts to complete and improve process doc https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/Release+Process I propose (most optimistic) dates for release stages: Scope Freeze: August 12, 2019 Code Freeze: August 15, 2019 Voting Date: August 22, 2019 Release Date: August 27, 2019 WDYT? If nobody minds, I will create branch 2.7.6 based on 2.7.5 and set up in the TC Bot during the weekend. Sincerely, Dmitriy Pavlov
