Including the Summary here too (might potentially break formatting):

*Discussion and Key Decisions*

   - *Make KubernetePodOperator Backwards-compatible*
      - PR: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/12384
      - Release cncf.kubernetes backport-provider package with that PR in
      to make it backwards compatible with 1.10.x
   - *Docs*
      - Add Docs explaining the different components of Airflow, especially
      for users migrating from 1.10.x who are not following community news:
         - Providers
         - Backport-providers
         - Airflow Core
         - Helm Chart
         - Docker Image
      - Existing docs for Providers are at
      https://airflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/provider-packages.html
   - *Upgrade Checks*
      - *Github Issue: *https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/11112
      - The package will be released separately to 1.10.13.
      - However, there is an on-going discussion whether the sources should
      remain in v1-10-test branch or not.
         - Call to discuss this will happen this Thursday, 19 Nov at 3-4 PM
         GMT. If anyone is interested to join, use this Zoom link
         <https://astronomer.zoom.us/j/93243753399?pwd=U3I5TFM0bXFCZkVFUGpTNUNrQkJwQT09>
         - We will also set a date when this separate package should be
         released and when the alpha/beta will be out to test with
Airflow 1.10.x
         - After the decision, this information will be available on the
         planning page.
      - *Providers Packages*
      - PR <https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/12383> for adding new
      Connections for a Provider using provider.yaml file is out. Each provider
      folder now contains a YAML file that is used for documentation, PR that
      introduced it: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/12304
      - This will be extended to discover Extra links too.
      - For now, this should be sufficient but in future, we can take a
      look at Pytest's plugin mechanism suggested by Ash.
   - *2.0 Beta3*
      - 2.0.0beta3 will be cut by the end of this week
      - Regular betas will be cut every week until we cut RCs
   -

   *Airflow 1.10.13*
   - Milestone: https://github.com/apache/airflow/milestone/7
      - Jarek has cherry-picked more than 300 commits to v1-10-test that
      syncs breeze, Helm Chart changes with Master, updated
dependencies and test
      fixes.
      - Kaxil working on further fixes and cherry-picks and we are
      targeting RCs this Friday

Regards,
Kaxil
