Week Ending August 29, 2021

Developer News

Kubernetes/kubernetes main is now using Go v1.17. This will require you to rebase any open PRs.

Please register for the Contributor Summit if you plan to attend, either in person or virtually! We are trying to plan activities around the Summit, and we need to know how many people are coming. Also, if you want to start a session, propose it.

Release Schedule

Next Deadline: Enhancements Freeze, Sept. 9th

Make sure to add your feature to the Enhancements Sheet as soon as you’re ready, and no later than Sept. 9th. Note that the PRR team wants your Production Review questionnaires by Sept. 2nd. At this time, we have zero tracked enhancements, so at least some of you are holding back.

The cherry-pick deadline for the next set of patch releases is Sept. 10, for a probable release on Sept. 15.
