December patch releases moved to December 7, 2022
Marko Mudrinić
Dear Kubernetes Community,
Tl;dr: Kubernetes patch releases planned for December are moved to Wednesday, December 7, 2022. Cherry-pick deadline for those patch releases is Friday, December 2, 2022.
As we’re approaching the holidays, many folks are taking their vacation/PTO. This affects the availability of staff responsible for building and publishing releases (mainly Release Managers and Google Build Admins). We also want to make sure that folks have enough time to test releases and perform upgrades.
That being said, we decided to move December patch releases to a week earlier than originally planned. The new target date is Wednesday, December 7, 2022. The cherry-pick deadline for those releases is Friday, December 2, 2022.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Release Managers on the #sig-release Slack channel[1].
Thank you for understanding!
Marko Mudrinić,
on behalf of Kubernetes SIG Release
