Once we have quorum on that vote, we go ahead and freeze and Jürgen can pretty much ignore 3.x in his release planning until that vote passes. <br></div><div>• The paid bug fixing should commence now already regardless of when the freeze will actually happen.<br></div><div><br></div><br>To address specifically Mathieu’s concerns about an unspecified date in the future, we do not anticipate an endless feature frenzy - the ‘soft freeze’ should keep the timelines reasonable while still giving us a chance to make sure that they API changes get a chance to land.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope that woks for the majority of you. If you want o make the release come faster, help by reviewing code in PR’s, testing new features and generally pointing the QGIS car towards the finish line!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Tim<br><br><br><br><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"> </span><span><img id="m_-8664566225164732726ADB1FF0B-7851-47F4-B9CB-8A2FECB4D090" src="cid:B67F6A36-B856-4FD5-91BC-5BDE8990D373"></span><br><br><br><br>---<br><br>Tim Sutton<br>QGIS Project Steering Committee Chair<br><a href="mailto:tim@qgis.org" target="_blank">tim@qgis.org</a><br><br><br><br></div><br></div></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
