| nrdxp | I've been quite busy all weekend but I'm hoping to get a brief introductory post up on discourse either today or tomorrow. If you'd like to add something tomberek I can send you a draft beforehand or you can just edit it after I post it. | 17:15:45 |

| jonringer | First order of business. Determing the release date. Generally it's pretty late in the release month, I'm going to toss out Nov 26th (a friday) as the initial target date, and create the timeline from there. That is a holiday in the US, so probably shoot for saturday as the expected release date. If we need to push the timeline (which usually happens because of hydra), then that monday also works :) | 23:57:00 |
| 30 Sep 2021 |
| nrdxp | I think Monday the 29th is a safe bet if we try to have everything ready by the Friday before 😅 | 00:02:12 |
| jonringer | Well, I would frame as, "try to do friday, but likely slip til monday". The main thing is aligning all of the previous staging-next cycles | 00:04:05 |
| tomberek | If there aren't any interactions with commercial entities that could be made difficult over Thanksgiving, it might even be easier. 26th Friday sounds good. | 13:28:21 |

| tomberek | Looking at calendar we have -8 weeks tomorrow to warn for "Feature Freeze". | 03:30:35 |
| nrdxp | Alright sounds good. Jon, how did you approach this in the past? Should we reach out to codeowners individually or make announcements somewhere? | 03:50:54 |
| nrdxp | or both 🙂 | 03:51:04 |
| nrdxp | I'm assuming a milestone may also be in order | 03:53:17 |
| jonringer | I made an announcement, and cc'd a bunch of people | 06:01:12 |
| jonringer | example post: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/121972 | 06:01:50 |
| jonringer | The main goal is to collect "what could possibly block a release, and is feasible in the current timeline". Don't be afraid to say that some change might be too much risk. | 06:06:10 |
| tomberek | is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/.github/CODEOWNERS pretty reliable? | 06:13:24 |
| jonringer | that's where I did the initial list, and some people edited my post to add others | 06:39:55 |
