Oslo team, We need to consider how we are going to handle the approaching feature freeze deadline (4 Sept). We should, at this point, be focusing reviews on changes associated with blueprints. We will have time to finish graduation work and handle bugs between the freeze and the release candidate deadline, but obviously it’s OK to review those now, too.
I propose that we apply the feature freeze rules to the incubator and any library that has had a release this cycle and is being used by any other project, but that libraries still being graduated not be frozen. I think that gives us exceptions for oslo.concurrency, oslo.serialization, and oslo.middleware. All of the other libraries should be planning to freeze new feature work this week. The app RC1 period starts 25 Sept, so we should be prepared to tag our final releases of libraries before then to ensure those final releases don’t introduce issues into the apps when they are released. We will apply 1.0 tags to the same commits that have the last alpha in the release series for each library, and then focus on fixing any bugs that come up during the release candidate period. I propose that we tag our releases on 18 Sept, to give us a few days to fix any issues that arise before the RC period starts. Please let me know if you spot any issues with this plan.
