Welcome to the first release countdown email for the Pike cycle ! Development Focus -----------------
Teams should be working on specs approval and implementation for priority features for this cycle. General Information ------------------- In case you haven't looked at it yet, you will find the Pike release schedule at: https://releases.openstack.org/pike/schedule.html For things released on a cycle-with-intermediary release model (or independent model), a quick reminder that generally prefer releases of libraries and other things with dependencies early in the week, so that we have plenty of time to fix them in case of breakage. For the same reasons, we may also postpone processing a release request on a Friday until the next week. Stable releases requests will be reviewed by the stable team in addition to the release team, so there may be additional delays as that team is short-staffed. Actions ------- Release liaisons should add their name and contact information to: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CrossProjectLiaisons#Release_management New liaisons should familiarize themselves with the release instructions in the README file in openstack/releases. Follow up here on the mailing list if you have questions about the expectations for liaisons for the first milestone. Some projects have also added their own project-specific deadlines to the general Pike schedule. If you have something unique, please feel free to update it by proposing a patch to the openstack/releases repository (doc/source/pike/schedule.*). There is no need to add a project-specific deadline that is the same as the global deadline. Project teams that want to change their release model should do so before the first milestone, coming up next month on R-20. Finally, teams should start brainstorming what topics they want to see covered in cross-community discussions at the Forum at the OpenStack Summit in Boston in May.
