Hi, We're kicking the 3.8 release back into shape and schedule. Our planned 6 month release cycle has completely failed on us, we're about 6 months behind. I've taken the liberty to set aggressive deadlines and put this on the roadmap on https://www.gluster.org/community/roadmap/3.8/ . The page explains the dates, it will be extremely difficult to convince me to change it. A delay because a feature is not ready will not be acceptable, the feature will be moved out into the next (major/minor) release. Requirements that are listed on the roadmap affect all features. *ALL* of these will need to be mostly fulfilled by the end of April. The last day of April has been picked as branch date. Any feature that is not ready at the time of branching (includes *ALL* requirements) will be disabled/removed from the sources. There is an other chance to get the feature in for the following release in 6 months time. All feature owners have been put on CC of this email. They need to go through the roadmap and update the description, current status, links, and any other missing parts before the end of this week. There need to be visible progress on at least the contents in the roadmap, and in the linked designs/feature pages. If there is no obvious attempt to improve the status of the feature, it will be marked as "move to next release". Sending updates for the roadmap is easy, click the "Edit this page on GitHub" link on the bottom of the page. It should create a pull request that I can review, please assign it to me ("nixpanic" on GitHub). If a feature is not expected to be ready before the end of April, please let me know as soon as possible. All tracking that we do makes it easier when we are kept informed. For this release, Jiffin offered his assistance. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to ask us (of course with the gluster-devel list on CC). Thanks, Jiffin & Niels
