Relatedly, SIG-ContribEx has created the Elections Subproject to oversee elections in the community, including offering preference elections as a service to all SIGs/WGs/Teams. SIG-Release is changing their meeting times.

SIGs CLI and Apps are starting their group mentoring for reviewers. The program is full already, but will happen again.

Release Schedule

Next Deadline: Final Exceptions Due, July 25th

We are in Enhancements freeze and everyone is hard at work on their declared features. By this point, you should also be thinking about whether your feature is going to make the cutoff, and if it should be in the 1.25 blog post (deadline July 27).

Patch releases for supported versions are expected Wednesday.
