During 2015, we were doing a release every 4 months. If we keep the same pace, the next releases would be: 2.3: end of March 2.4: end of July 2.5: end of November However, things move fast and it may be a bit long to wait 4 months for a feature. That's why I suggest to progressively shorten release terms: 2.3: end of March 2.4: mid July 2.5: end of October and continue with a release every 3 months: 2.6: end of January 2.7: end of April 2.8: end of July This planning would preserve some of the major holiday periods (February, May, August, December). The first period, for the first submission of a feature, was 2 months long. Then we had 2 other months to discuss, merge and fix. We should shorten only the first period. Anyway, the next deadlines should be unchanged: - January 31: end of first submission phase - March 31: release 2.3 Opinions are welcome.
