[ANNOUNCEMENT] v1.31 Call for Enhancements
Sreeram Venkitesh
The v1.31 release cycle has begun and we are now actively collecting enhancements.
Actions Required:
SIG Leads:
Discuss within your SIG which enhancements you will be proposing for this release
Opt in for enhancements byapplying the current milestone (v1.31) and "lead-opted-in" label on the tracking issues in kubernetes/enhancements[1]
Enhancements owners:
Ensure your enhancements meet the following requirements[2]
Open an issue in kubernetes/enhancements[1]
Ensure that a kep.yaml exists with:
status[3] set to `implementable`
latest-milestone[4] set to the current release
A README.md exists that:
uses the latest template[5]
has the updated test plan[6] section filled out
A Production Readiness Review[7] has been completed
Reviewers/Approvers:
Please add the “kind/deprecation” label to PRs as appropriate (this is a big help for the Comms team!)
Enhancements will be tracked throughout the release using the 1.31 Enhancements Tracking GitHub Project board [8]. More information on the enhancements process can be found on the kubernetes/enhancements [1] repository.
All enhancements should plan to opt-in well before the Production Readiness Review Freeze (Thursday, 6th June 2024) to ensure adequate time for reviews. Enhancements opted-in after this deadline will be at risk for inclusion in the release.
