In order to continue with our agreed release cycle as per discussion in RFC#67 , I’d like to propose a schedule for our next TVM release: v0.14.0.
I suggest we keep the discussion in the GitHub issue I opened for this topic.

> [Last release v0.13.0](https://github.com/apache/tvm/releases/tag/v0.13.0) is … on 14 July and the branch cut day is 1 July [v0.13.0 release schedule](https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/15134). It has been almost **three months** since 1 July. According to our [RFC-0067 about quarter-based releases](https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/0067-quarterly-releases.md), I **hope to release v0.14.0 version in mid Oct**. It's meaningful especially for **AI infra companies which needs regularly merge with release version.**

This schedule is tentative and may change as we progress through the process. In case dates change, this thread will be kept updated.
The proposed schedule is:
- [x] **16 Oct 2023** Following three actions should be continuous and coherent:
- [x] Make version modification twice as two commits: first to `v0.14.0` on main branch; second to `v0.15.dev0` on main branch in one PR, and **merged without squash (required)**. Why do this first [referring discuss on last release](https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/15134#issuecomment-1607649151):
- [x] https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/15847
- [x] https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/15934
- [x] A branch `v0.14.0` to be created from `main` on first commit: https://github.com/apache/tvm/tree/v0.14.0;
- [x] A tag named `v0.14.0.rc0` created on first commit: https://github.com/apache/tvm/releases/tag/v0.14.0.rc0
- [x] A tag named `v0.15.dev0` created on second commit: https://github.com/apache/tvm/releases/tag/v0.15.dev0
- [x] **19 Oct 2023** - Cherry-picking soft deadline
- During this time any reasonable change can be merged, comment on this issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch
- [x] **22 Oct 2023** - Cherry-picking **hard deadline**
- During this time only critical changes will be merged, comment on this issue with the commit you would like added to the release branch as well as the reasoning for adding it
- [x] **23 Oct 2023** - Draft release notes published, https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/15948
- [x] **23 Oct 2023** - [Prepare release candidate packaging `v0.14.0.rc0` and uploading](https://tvm.apache.org/docs/contribute/release_process.html#upload-the-release-candidate)
- Create tag `v0.14.0.rc0` and Github release page: https://github.com/apache/tvm/releases/tag/v0.14.0.rc0
- Upload to Apache repo: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/tvm/tvm-v0.14.0-rc0/
- [x] **24 Oct 2023** - Release voting opens, https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/15974
- [x] **30 Oct 2023**
- [x] Voting result, https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/16022
- [x] Create a new release tag `v0.14.0` on last commit on release branch: https://github.com/apache/tvm/releases/tag/v0.14.0
- [x] Upload the binaries to Apache mirrors: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tvm/tvm-v0.14.0/
- [x] **31 Oct 2023** - Release date
- [x] **31 Oct 2023** - Update the TVM Website: https://tvm.apache.org/docs/v0.14.0/
