[SUMMARY] Flink 1.17 Release Sync 11/29/2022

[Qingsheng Ren <re...@apache.org>]

Hi devs and users,

I'd like to share some highlights from the release sync on 11/29/2022.

1. @Contributors please update your progress on the release 1.17 wiki page
[1] before the sync meeting so that everyone could track it.

2. We have new CI stability tickets and owners should have been pinged on
JIRA or offline. Please take a look at your inbox.

3. Externalizing connectors is progressing well. We could expect most
connectors being externalized in the 1.17 release cycle.

4. It’ll be great to have some input for monitoring the performance test.
Currently there’s a slack channel reporting benchmark results periodically
as discussed in the dev ML [2], and we’re working on formalizing the work
on regression testing.

There are 7 weeks before the feature freeze on 1/17/2023. The next release
meeting will be on December 13th, 2022. Feel free to join us if you
are interested!

Best regards,
Leonard, Martijn, Matthias and Qingsheng
