Hi,

The current 17.08 schedule dates are:

    17.08
        * Proposal deadline:    May      28, 2017
        * Integration deadline: June     29, 2017
        * Release:              August    1, 2017

I think these dates are good and must be strictly respected.
It would be very bad (at least for me) to release later in August.

The following are proposed dates for 17.11 and 18.02.

    17.11
        * Proposal deadline:    August    25, 2017

As we can see in the following picture [1],
we work less in August and tend to send the proposals at the last minute.

I don't know what can be done to avoid having hard days of reviews
after the August deadline.
Should we cut this period before or let a bit more days?

        * Integration deadline: September 29, 2017
        * Release:              November   2, 2017

I'm OK for these ones.

    18.02
        * Proposal deadline:    November  24, 2017
        * Integration deadline: December  29, 2017

The Christmas / New Year holidays will be from Dec 25 to Jan 1.
I think we could move the integration deadline to Jan 5.

        * Release:              February   2, 2018

The Chinese Spring Festival will be from Feb 15 to 21.
So we have a good margin.

These dates need to be discussed/agreed in the community since there are a
lot of different holidays in these periods: August holidays, Christmas,
New Year, Spring Festival.
