Alpha releases

[Matt Caswell]

The OTC meeting today discussed making further alpha releases while we
continue to work towards getting to beta 1. It was proposed that we
release alpha 7 on Thursday 15h October and then regularly on a 3 weekly
basis thereafter until such time as beta 1 is ready.

This will need to be an OMC decision so this is my suggested vote wording:

"OpenSSL 3.0 Alpha 7 shouuld be released on Thursday 15th October and
subsequent alpha releases should be performed on a 3 weekly basis until
beta 1 is ready"

I'd like to give an opportunity for feedback on the above before I call
this vote.

Note that the OTC discussions on beta 1 (looking at the proposal that
Nicola posted to this list last Friday) are still ongoing. There will be
a further meeting tomorrow.
