We are already starting on RC week. Time flies when you're having fun. Development Focus -----------------
The Release Candidate (RC) deadline is this Thursday, the 8th. Work should be focused on any release-critical bugs and wrapping up and remaining feature work. General Information ------------------- All cycle-with-milestones and cycle-with-intermediary projects should cut their stable/queens branch by the end of this week. This branch will track the Queens release. Once stable/queens has been created, master will will be ready to switch to Rocky development. While master will no longer be frozen, please prioritize any work necessary for completing Queens plans. Changes can be merged into stable/queens as needed if deemed necessary for an RC2. Once Queens is released, stable/queens will also be ready for any stable point releases. Whether fixing something for another RC, or in preparation of a future stable release, fixes must be merged to master first, then backported to stable/queens. Actions --------- cycle-with-milestones deliverables should post an RC1 to openstack/releases using the version format X.Y.Z.0rc1 along with branch creation from this point. The deliverable changes should look something like: releases: - projects: - hash: 90f3ed251084952b43b89a172895a005182e6970 repo: openstack/example version: 1.0.0.0rc1 branches: - name: stable/queens location: 1.0.0.0rc1 Other cycle deliverables (not *-with-milestones) will look the same, but with your normal versioning. For deliverables with release notes, you may also want to add, or update, your release notes links in the deliverable file to something like: release-notes: https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/example/queens.html And one more reminder, please add what highlights you want for your project team in the cycle highlights: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-December/125613.html Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Rocky PTL nominations: January 29 - February 1 Rocky PTL election: February 7 - 14 OpenStack Summit Vancouver CFP deadline: February 8 Rocky PTG in Dublin: Week of February 26, 2018 Queens cycle-trailing RC deadline: March 1 -- Sean McGinnis (smcginnis) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
