0.26.0 Release

Manage the release of Apache Mesos version 0.26.0.

The Mesos 0.26.0 release will aim at being timely and at improving robustness. It will not be gated by new features. However, there may be blockers when it comes to bugs or incompleteness of existing features.

Once these blockers are resolved, we will start deferring unresolved issues by Priority and Status until we are ready to make the first cut.

Here is how you can stay informed and help out.
