How to Contribute
Before Sep 17:
- Participate in votes and discussions to land or postpone the open KIPs
- Review patches. We anticipate that this release will be bottlenecked mostly on reviews. The more reviewers, the more content we can fit in.
- Write system tests. We want to preserve the tradition of high-quality releases in Apache Kafka.
Between Sep 17 and Oct 3:
- Open issues for any bugs found.
- Submit and/or review bug fixes.
- Write system tests. We will continue accepting system tests in the release branch.
After Oct 3:
- Test the release candidates
- Open bugs on important issues found
- Submit and/or review patches for blocking bugs
- Vote on RCs. Even though only PMC votes are binding, community votes are super important as we evaluate the readiness of the release
