Atlas community,
In the past 3 months since I sent the email on Apache Atlas 2.1 release, the community has added 100+ commits to improve various areas like search, UI, performance, authorization, bulk import of glossary & business-metadata, support for ADLS-Ge2 and AWS-S3 entity types, updated JanusGraph version. Thanks to everyone who contributed to Apache Atlas - making it a feature rich, enterprise-ready, open-source governance tool backed by a thriving community. Let’s started on Apache Atlas 2.1 release! I volunteer to be the release-manager for this release and propose the following timeline: 05/18, Mon: branch-2.0 goes into lockdown mode to prepare for 2.1 release. During lockdown period, only commits for release-blocker issues must be merged in branch-2.0. Master branch will remain open for all commits 05/18 – 05/22, Mon – Fri: community to validate branch-2.0 builds and address release-blocker issues 05/25, Mon: release candidate out for vote by the community 05/29, Fri: release Apache Atlas 2.1, assuming successful completion of votes Please review and let me know your comments/suggestions.
