- Roadmap
- Jira issues (major changes, breaking changes, deprecations)

- Where does the discussion take place? (user questions, issues, discussions)
- Right now it seems to mostly happen on Github issues
- Established practice
- Makes it easily searchable
- Other Apache projects have switched mailing lists to forums. Should we do that to users mailing list?
- Scheduled for November in North America
- C/C will alternative between North America and EU every year
- We would love to have more Solr presence and dedicated Solr track
- Solr channel on LinkedIn
- There is currently a private channel
- Can it be made public?
- Post announcements, releases, and blog posts
- OpenSearch channel
- Next steps
- Contact admins of current private group
- We can create a group with disclaimer that it's run by users of Solr, not PMC. All project decisions must be made on the dev mailing list
- Add a step to release process to share on LinkedIn group in addition to the blog post
(Jason) Solr 9.8 Release Vote Reminder
- First RC for 9.8 was shared with a vote thread
- One does not have to be committer or PMC member to vote on the RC
- Mailing list thread
(David) CHANGES.txt generation via logchange –
- Instead of changing common CHANGES.txt, the tool has a CLI to generate a small YAML file
- No merge conflicts!
- Release manager will generate CHANGES.txt from that
