If there aren't any known blockers, I'd like to release dask and distributed 2022.04.0 on Friday.

No objections from me

Thanks @jsignell! We recently added Python 3.10 to distributed (xref dask/distributed#5952), it would be good to make sure the corresponding dask PR is in before releasing

• Add Python 3.10 support dask#8566

We're just awaiting any final comments before merging the dask PR (hopefully tomorrow), so we should be good to go for the release

Do we want to handle the PyPy dropping PRs as well?

Do we want to handle the PyPy dropping PRs as well?

That makes sense to me. Is it just the conda-forge-feedstock PR left?

[jakirkham]

Looks like the Dask + Distributed PRs are already merged.

With conda-forge there's not a PR, but when we do the release we can clean out the old PyPy migration. Or at least that's what we came to in issue ( conda-forge/distributed-feedstock#201 ). Don't think there is anything else to do there atm. If something else comes up later, we can always revisit 🙂

Ok I am starting the release now!

[jsignell]

Thanks Julia! 😄

Merged the first one. Second one is good to go once packages from the first one are available from CDN. Had a question on the third one.

[jsignell]

Thanks @jakirkham for babysitting those!

[jsignell]

Thanks to @jrbourbeau for taking care of the docker builds. This is all buttoned up!
