Ansible 12.0.0 release schedule

According to 2.19.1 release schedule update, ETA for ansible-core 2.19.1 is August 25.

If I understand the discussion so far, the plan is to

  1. Release a (last) beta August 26 announcing feature freeze
  2. Release rc1 September 2
  3. Release 12.0.0 September 9

Is this correct? And: Should we have a vote on this? I’m not saying we should have, I’m just asking.

And another question: Should we also publish a similar “Ansible Community Package 12.0.0 release schedule update” and mention it on Bullhorn, or at least mention this thread explicitly there? As far as I can see, it has been only mentioned casually in the 12.0.0b3 announcement.

And a third question: Will we do additional betas up until then?

Sorry for all those questions. But everything is a little bit unclear to me. My suggestion would be:

  1. beta August 26, rc1 September 2, 12.0.0 September 9
  2. do weekly betas on Ausgust 12 and 19
  3. create a “Ansible Community Package 12.0.0 release schedule update” that should link to this thread and 2.19.1 release schedule update, and mention it on Bullhorn

What do you think?
