Release schedule update

  • New meta-release schedule proposal following the feedback in Dual Phase proposal: see

    • THIRD DRAFT:

    • Steady state schedules and Spring26/Fall26 are proposed:

      • Release Management proposal for the steady state case is ready

      • Spring26 and Fall26 adjusted schedule for the transition period based on the following assumptions:

        • limited number of APIs to be release in Spring26, focus is on Comm/ICM releases.

        • initial APIs can create a release at any time and ask for review: they should use the Fall25 Comm/ICM release until the public version of Comm/ICM of Spring26 is available at M4 (Mar 15 2026)

        • Fall25 APIs should plan to prepare updates for Fall26 based on Comm/ICM of Spring26.

    • New meta-release naming : please check & comment https://github.com/camaraproject/Governance/issues/200 .

    • TSC - ask for resolution proposal e.g. a vote of top list - decision in the TSC after that.

    • Need to involve the marketing team @Tanja de Groot
