[ovs-dev] releasing 2.6: branch Aug 1, release Sep 15

[Ben Pfaff]

The proposed Open vSwitch release schedule calls for branching 2.6 from
master on Aug. 1, followed by a period of bug fixes and stabilization,
with release on Sep. 15.  The proposed release schedule is posted here
for review:
        https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/650319/

I don't yet know of a reason to modify this schedule.

If you know of reasons to change it, now is an appropriate time to bring
it up for discussion.  In addition, if you have features planned for 2.6
that risk hitting master somewhat late for the branch, it is also a good
time to bring these up for discussion, so that we can plan to backport
them to the branch early on, or to delay the branch by a few days.

Thanks,

Ben.
