Release candidate target date...
Hello Geode Dev Community,
We have a release branch for Apache Geode 1.11.0 - “release/1.11.0”. People have been voting to pick up fixes and I have been cherry picking them accordingly. I think it is important that we look forward to a release date and I have picked November 19th, 2019 as a time to try for. As with any process, if a sufficiently scary issue comes up we will reschedule, but this seems like a reasonable date.
As always, please contact me with any concerns you might have. If no concerns are raised, we will start voting on the release on November 20th, 2019.
Regards
Mark Hanson

Oh yes, Thanksgiving! That makes perfect sense.

What Owen said basically... I prefer to try for an early date and reschedule to a later date if I must. Aiming for a later date leaves little window to deal with surprises other than to miss the target date. Its almost never bad to come in a few days early, but it is rarely good to come in late.
Finally, Thanksgiving in the US is very unpredictable for vacations and thus a few days earlier guarantees more eyes.
Thanks,
Mark

Could be:
* not very many fixes have come in, so maybe there’s actually nothing further we’re waiting for?
* to give us a better chance of hitting Dec 2 goal, in case it takes more than one RC?
* some people might prefer to give feedback against a formal RC rather than informally against the branch?
* impact of Thanksgiving?

I think it's really great to agree on the date by which we want to have a
RC1 early. However, I thought the target release date is beginning of
December, which would probably bring us to December 2nd, given the first is
a Sunday. The voting period is 3 days. I would have expected that we'd
create the RC around 11/26 (with the caveat that everything looks fine by
then). What's the reasoning behind cutting it so early?

+1 for cutting RC1 within two weeks of creating the release branch :)

Hello Geode Dev Community,
As I will be doing a building a release candidate in about 5 hours. I am not aware of any serious issues at this moment. If you have any last minute checkins for 1.11.0, now is the time.
Thanks,
Mark
