Thanks for this update Joe, Dawid and Xintong. This is super helpful!
> Hi,
>
> Today we had our first bi-weekly.
> Here’s a short summary of what has been discussed.
>
> Please watch the 1.14. Release page [1] to stay up to date.
>
> * Feature freeze date *
> As response to our last email the question was risen to push the feature
> freeze date back by a month, which would mean early September. Vanilla
> Flink Users who might be in favour of keeping it like it is, didn’t seem to
> participate in the discussion so the decision might be biased. We agreed to
> collect further feedback till the next bi-weekly and decide then.
>
> * Build stability *
> We started the release cycle with around 200 test stability issues [2].
> For 1.13. at this stage it was half of this.
> We agreed to do a push within the next two weeks to reduce the amount of
> issues and generally carefully avoid introducing new instabilities.
> We kindly ask every contributor and team working on some Flink components
> to go through them and try to close/get rid of as many as possible.
>
> * Documentation & Release advertisement *
> Let’s aim for making documentation and release advertisement through
> blogposts, meet-ups and presentations a part of the development process. So
> while working on a feature every contributor should already include the
> documentation and plan the advertisement of it.
>
> * Feature list freeze *
> We’d suggest to freeze the list of features that will go into 1.14. in the
> next bi-weekly, so please make sure your item shows up there.
> The release managers will also structure the list a bit more in the next
> couple of days, when the first wave of edits is gone.
>
> So what can you do to make 1.14. a successful release:
> * Provide feedback on the feature freeze date.
> * Get rid of instabilities and don’t introduce new ones.
> * Document and advertise the stuff you do.
> * Add your planned features to the feature list.
>
> Thanks for all your effort,
