[SciPy-Dev] SciPy 1.1.0 release schedule

Hi all, It's 5 months after the 1.0 release, so it's time to start planning for 1.1. There's still quite a few open issues and PRs marked for 1.1.0 (see https://github.com/scipy/scipy/milestone/34), but not many that seem blocking or really difficult to resolve. So I'd like to propose the following schedule: April 11: branch 1.0.x April 13: rc1 April 27: rc2 (if needed) May 4: final release It would be useful if everyone could add PRs/issues that they think are critical to the 1.1 milestone. Adding yourself as an "assignee" on PRs/issues you plan to tackle would also be helpful. Thoughts? Cheers, Ralf
