X-BeenThere: ovs-dev@openvswitch.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: ovs-dev-bounces@openvswitch.org Sender: "dev" In 2020, there were times where we started the release process later than expected. Part of the reason why was that the actual release dates for OVN were vague, meaning nobody really knew when we should start the release process. This attempts to remedy the problem by creating a calendar for releases for 2020 and 2021. This way developers can know more easily when releases are scheduled and prepare in advance better.
