@knksmith57 ***

what's up @Max4488?

[danielleadams]

Contrary to what we discussed at the last Releasers meeting, I wasn't able to get 16.4.0 out on Thursday, so I'm going to push the schedule back 1 week for that release. And we should probably reflect rest of the schedule with the additional week.

[theoludwig]

The schedule is wrong for the past releases.
Could someone update it, please? @danielleadams @BethGriggs

I already updated the table :

And we should probably reflect rest of the schedule with the additional week.

Yes, we should postpone all the next releases to one week. 👍
I didn't do that yet for the new table.

[BethGriggs]

Updated. I'd prefer to keep the schedule as is rather than move all the future dates out - I can make a call next week whether there's enough to warrant a release so soon or skip.

[targos]

@BethGriggs I added myself to July 13, but I'm also available on the other one, in case you prefer that date.

[danielleadams]

I picked up the August releases, but happy to swap if anyone needs/wants to.

[danielleadams]

Pushed back tomorrow's to 8/17.
