The goal is to produce a stable tag for edk2 repositories every 3 months with the initial proposed dates of 8/10/2018 and 11/16/2018. Each release is preceded by a 2 week quiet period where only commits for critical bug fixes are accepted. When the stable tag release is completed, the release is tagged with the following naming convention:=20 edk2-stable<4 digit year><2 digit month> For example, the first 2 proposed tags would be: edk2-stable201808 =20 edk2-stable201811 The goal is to integrate major feature at the beginning of each 3 month release cycle. Work through integration issues, smaller features, and normal bug fixes through the remainder of the release cycle until the start of the quiet period. The community focuses on testing and critical bug fixes during the quiet period. An EDK II Wiki page will be created to plan the development and testing activities along with the dates associated for future EDK II stable tag releases. Please provide any feedback you have on this proposal.=20 Thanks, Mike
