[Users] proposal to change Einstein Toolkit release cycle to be every 9 months instead every 6 months

[Roland Haas]

Hello all,

During today's Einstein Toolkit call the proposal to reduce the
Einstein Toolkit release frequency from every 6 months to every 9
months has been made.

This would reduce the workload for the release manager and avoid the
current situation where there is hardly any time between work for
releases.

Some discussion on relative merits and disadvantages of the 6 and 9
month release cycle were discussed but, also due to the small number of
participants, no final decision has been reached.

As such, and in accordance with the Einstein Toolkit guiding
principles

http://einsteintoolkit.org/guidelines.html

the topic will be discussed in the Einstein Toolkit call next week,
Thu Jan 16th, 2025 and a vote for acceptance or rejection will be held
at that point.

Please see the meeting minutes for details on the discussion:

Yours,
Roland
