PTLs, As with the other cross-project teams, the release management team relies on liaisons from each project to be available for coordination of work across all teams. It's the start of a new cycle, so it's time to find those liaison volunteers.
We are working on updating the release documentation as part of the Project Team Guide. Release liaison responsibilities are documented in [0], and we will update that page with more details over time. In the past we have defaulted to having the PTL act as liaison if no alternate is specified, and we will continue to do that during Newton. If you plan to delegate release work to a liaison, especially for submitting release requests, please update the wiki [1] to provide their contact information. If you plan to serve as your team's liaison, please add your contact details to the page. During Mitaka, several projects designated a separate liaison for different deliverables coming from the same project team. Having multiple liaisons defeats the purpose of having a single point of contact for the release team to contact the project team. If you want to organize separate managers internally, that's fine, but please designate one person to be the liaison with the release team, and ensure that person is up to date on all deliverables around deadlines. If you or your liaison will be unavailable for an extended period of time, especially near an important date in the schedule, please specify a secondary contact for that period by sending email to openstack-dev tagged [release] and updating the wiki. We don't want your team to miss an important deadline because communication breaks down. Please also ensure that someone from your project (the liaison, or a temporary liaison) attends the release management fishbowl session at the summit on Thu 28 from 5:00pm-5:40pm [2].
