Proposal: Use quarterly release names #1804

@jpmcb

Description

@jpmcb

I was on a flight last week and I realized that our "seasonal" releases (like "Summer 20xx" release, "Winter 20xx" release, etc.) are not very inclusive: there are people all around the world using Cobra and the idea of seasons may be completely flipped depending on where you're reading the release notes from.

This is not only confusing but isn't very mindful of our global community; it essentially presumes you're in the northern hemisphere. I'd like to remedy that, do the best thing for the whole community, and get the communities input.


Proposal - Quarterly

Using releases that denote which quarter in a year the release is coming out in would be a quick fix for this:

Winter  ▶️ Q1
Spring  ▶️ Q2
Summer  ▶️ Q3
Fall    ▶️ Q4

I'd love the communities feedback here!!!
