Dear Ignite Community! I suggest starting Apache Ignite 2.16 release activities.
We've accumulated a hundred resolved [1] issues with new features and bug fixes which are waiting for their release date. For example: Calcite engine: added hints, became more stable, covered with diagnostic tools; Cluster Management API (IEP-81); Realtime CDC (IEP-104, ready to be merged); Fixes to support JDK 14-21; Several critical issues; etc. I want to propose myself to be the release manager of the planning release. I propose the following timeline: Scope Freeze: November 6, 2023 Code Freeze: November 13, 2022 Voting Date: November 20, 2022 Release Date: November 27, 2022 WDYT?
