Hi all,

Our next milestone is approaching, 20.08-rc1 should be in 12 days :

and the roadmap is very long:

We all want to have our code reviewed and accepted. In order to have a small hope of reaching our goals, we need a large participation in reviews.

Hi Thomas,

Wanted to check re the flow perf application which AFAIK almost made it for 20.05 but now is still waiting in patchworks [1]. I am using it and actually there are few enhancements to be applied for serving more advanced use-cases waiting for the initial acceptance to be submitted. I am politely watching it in patchworks
without any real progress for couple of weeks.. so?

Thanks,

Or.
