Hello Everyone,

It's me, your friendly Metron Release Manager and it's time to start
thinking about the next release, version \ [NEW RELEASE VERSION NUMBER\].

*JIRA Housekeeping*

For those who get email alerts via JIRA on changes, it should be no
surprise that I went through did some JIRA housekeeping in anticipation of
the next release:

   - Ensured that everything committed since the last release was closed
   and marked [RELEASE VERSION TAG]
   - Ensured that everything in active work (with a PR that was active in
   the last month on github) had a release version of [RELEASE VERSION TAG] and "In
   Progress"

This may mean that I moved your favorite JIRA around or changed the
release. I did not do this because it was unimportant or I considered it
unfit for the next release, but because I want to begin the exercise of
choosing what makes the release with the community with an accurate picture
of the current state in JIRA.

*What's made it so far into the next release*

  [LIST OF RELEASE JIRAs]

*What else will make it?*

Ok, so now that we know what's in there already, I need to ask your help in
determining what you want in the next release that is not currently being
worked on. In order to do that, please help me by responding to this email
and

   - proposing and justifying a JIRA from the list of unresolved JIRAs
   [LINK TO ALL EXISTING JIRAs in unresolved state]
   that are not currently scheduled and let me know which ones should be
   included. Please include whether the JIRA is "Nice to Have" or "Critical
   to Have" and if you volunteer to do it.
   - proposing and justifying that one of the in-progress tasks
    [LINK TO ALL EXISTING JIRAs in in-process state]
   should *not* be included for release

I'd like to aim to get release candidates out in the next two weeks, so
let's look forward a vigorous discussion and a great release.

Thanks for the contributions and for your continued engagement in the
Metron community. If you see something that you don't like in this
process, please let me know. Feedback is very welcome.

Best,

[RELEASE MANAGER]
