[dpdk-dev] Proposed dates for 20.02 release

[Ferruh Yigit]

Hi,

We need input to plan the 20.02 release dates.

There are two constraints for the .02 releases which makes it harder to plan,
the Christmas/New Year's holidays and Chinese Spring Festival Holiday.

This years schedule for them is:

* Christmas/New Year's:
  25,26 December; 1 January. In practice many people will be on leave on WW52.

* Chinese Spring Festival Holiday:
  24-30 January (inclusive).


According above dates proposed dates are:

Proposal/V1:		6 December (4 weeks)				[WW49]
Integration/Merge/RC1:	10 January (5 weeks including Christmas)	[WW2]
Release:		7 February (4 weeks including Spring Festival)	[WW6]


Please comment if you have any concerns or objections on the proposed dates.

The dates are finalized in "Release Status Meeting" which is open to the
community, anyone wants to discuss further can attend those meetings [1].


Thanks,
ferruh
