| 20 | +### nodejs/Release |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +* Release plan - v17.x Current [#703](https://github.com/nodejs/Release/issues/703) |
| 23 | + * Deferred the scheduled release due to CI instability. |
| 24 | +* Release plan - v16.x Active LTS [#658](https://github.com/nodejs/Release/issues/658) |
| 25 | + * Schedule a patch release for November. |
| 26 | + * Aim for a minor release in January. |
| 27 | + * Need to add a release candidate column. |
| 28 | + * Ideally 1-2 weeks for minor releases. |
| 29 | +* Release plan - v14.x Maintenance LTS [#567](https://github.com/nodejs/Release/issues/567) |
| 30 | + * Few items on the staging branch, but nothing pressing. |
| 31 | + * Need to land some commits to improve CI stability. |
| 32 | + * Patch release in November. |
| 33 | + * Potential minor release in January. |
| 34 | +* Release plan - v12.x Maintenance [#494](https://github.com/nodejs/Release/issues/494) |
| 35 | + * Uncomfortable landing semver minors at this point in Node.js 12’s lifecycle. |
| 36 | + * Leaning towards not shipping https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/40508 on Node.js 12. |
| 37 | + * Reduced impact of these changes due to the short amount of support time left. |
| 38 | + * Potentially update c-ares after it has baked in other release lines. |
| 39 | + * Plan for an upcoming patch release this year (date TBD). |
| 40 | +* Onboarding sessions |
| 41 | + * (Action) Doodle poll for onboarding sessions. |
| 42 | +* Release keys |
| 43 | + * PR to update instructions is blocked on a couple of unverified keys. |
| 44 | + * I propose we land to fix the instructions, and open issues to get the last keys verified. |
| 45 | + * Most recently active releasers have verified their keys, so the impact of the unverified keys should be minimal. |
| 46 | +* FreeBSD release binaries |
| 47 | + * Shortage of volunteers committed to maintaining the platform (keeping CI green, infrastructure, etc.). |
| 48 | + * Until the volunteer situation changes we’ll be unlikely to add FreeBSD release binaries. |
