| ## Release plan for 3.1 |
| |
| During the [last ESC meeting](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/2019-09-03-esc-minutes.html) |
| it was decided that we will aim to release Gerrit 3.1 during the upcoming hackathon |
| in Sunnyvale in November 2019. |
| |
| The tentative plan is to cut the `stable-3.1` branch a few weeks before the hackathon, |
| i.e. around mid-October, so that there is enough time to make release candidates |
| and stabilize it before the release. |
| |
| ## End Of Life for 2.15 |
| |
| Per the support policy mentioned on the [project homepage](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/#support), |
| after 3.1 is released 2.15 will reach end of life and will no longer be actively |
| supported. Support for 2.16 and 3.0 will continue; users of 2.15 or earlier are |
| recommended to upgrade to one of these versions. |
