All,

<div>I like the rolling release idea, it will allow for a always up to date version of things. The Stable (yearly) release will always be floating in the background too. Not so sure about the Yearly release schedule though. Maybe Yearly at a minimum?
There might be those instances where a yearly cycle won’t sync up with OSGeo project, event, etc. </div>

<div>As per weekly meeting discussion, we propose to switch from putting out two releases per year to putting out one main release per year.<br>
<br>
We will likely also be putting out rolling releases which have been untested.<br>
<br>
Reasons:<br>
<br>
* As per prior discussions, we want to use our volunteer time more efficiently.<br>
<br>
* We have improved build processes to be agile and efficient. However, our final test process still has significant manual testing. In particular around reviewing and updating documentation, and testing quickstarts.<br>
<br>
Please comment and or vote on this proposal.<br>
