Vote (ending **December 4th** ) on the following proposal: 1. Change the Ansible 9 roadmap (specifically: the timing of minor releases) as proposed in [Ansible 9: Follow ansible-core more closely](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/pull/856) so we do not have to discuss what to do every time when ansible-core delays a release. 2. Announce the change of our release policy on Bullhorn with: > From now on, the Ansible community package release schedule will follow the Ansible Core release schedule, including (for example) delays for holidays. This means Ansible releases happen every four weeks through most of the year, but release dates may be delayed when Ansible Core release is. > > For the upcoming holiday season, this means that there will be no Ansible release in early January, but instead on January 30th. _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.ansible.com/t/vote-ended-on-2023-12-04-release-schedule-for-holiday-releases/2471/22))_ _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.ansible.com/t/vote-ended-on-2023-12-04-release-schedule-for-holiday-releases/2471/22))_ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.ansible.com/t/vote-ended-on-2023-12-04-release-schedule-for-holiday-releases/2471)._
