[SUMMARY] Flink 1.17 Release Sync 2/14/2023

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

Hi devs and users,

I'd like to share some highlights from Flink 1.17 release sync on
2/14/2023.

Release testing:

- The original deadline of cross-team testing is Feb 21, 2023 (next
Tuesday). We will monitor the status throughout the week and hopefully
conclude everything before the deadline.
- Please change the status icon to “smiling face” in the release wiki page
if the testing has been completed.
- We always look for volunteers: picking up a cross-team testing task is
much appreciated.

Release management:

- We’ll create a JIRA issue for release management tasks (such as creating
RCs, release notes, announcements), in order to improve review-ability.
(Thanks @ for the proposal!)

Test instabilities:

- FLINK-31036 was prioritized as a blocker and is being investigated now.

The next release meeting will be on Feb 21, 2023. Feel free to join us!
