Focus ----- All teams should be wrapping up their work to prepare release candidates for the end of Newton.
General Notes ------------- The release candidate deadline for Newton releases is 15 Sept. All projects following cycle-based release models that want to include a deliverable in Newton should have a release prepared by 15 Sept. We will create stable/newton branches for milestone-based projects when the release candidate is tagged. Release Actions --------------- Be prepared to have a release candidate tagged by 15 Sept, but wait as late as possible to include as many bug fixes and translations as possible. This also avoids having a second release candidate quickly after the first, and therefore indicating to consumers that they may want to ignore those initial release candidates. Projects not following the milestone-based release model who want stable/newton branches created should include that information in the commit message for their release request. Remember, we always create stable branches from tagged commits, so we need the tag to exist before we branch. Review the members of your $project-release group in gerrit, based on the instructions Thierry sent on 15 Aug to ensure there are team members able to approve patches on the new branch when it is created. Watch for translation patches and merge them quickly to ensure we have as many user-facing strings translated as possible in the release candidates. Liaisons for projects with independent deliverables should import the release history by preparing patches to openstack/releases. Important Dates --------------- Newton RC-1, 15 Sept. Newton final release, 6 Oct.
