Not much response there on actual dates.   I think there were only two people
saying that feb/jun/oct was good - without any objections or other preferences
from others.   The question for the weekday was completely ignored.

So I would say, we release on the 3rd Friday of feb/jun/oct, with a code freeze
starting four weeks earlier.

Week	Date
4	24.01.	Freeze  2.1
8	21.02.	Release 2.2
21	23.05.	Freeze  2.3
25	20.06.	Release 2.4
39	26.09.	Freeze  2.5
43	24.10.	Release 2.6

No, no typo.  We have nightly packages that go under 2.1 already and I'd like
to have the release to have a different version number.  So that'll be 2.2 and
master 2.3 once 2.2 is out and so on.  I don't care much about the actual
numbers, just that they are always increasing (no 1.9.99 back to 1.8 forward to
1.9.0 again).
