Sure. I'm not adding it for the beauty of it. See below. >> The rest of the proposal is mostly a no-brainer.

My suggestion would be to push K1 to Dec 18, because I think > you won't get much K2 content landed that week anyway. > > For US people at least this would change the Dec cadence from: > > * Holiday Week - Nov 28 is thanksgiving > * Dev Week > * Milestone Week > * Dev Week > * sort of Holiday Week > * Holiday Week > > To: > > * Holiday Week > * Dev Week > * Dev Week > * Milestone Week > * sort of Holiday Week > * Holiday Week > > Which I feel is going to get more done.

So we /could/ do: Kilo Design Summit: Nov 4-7 Kilo-1 milestone: Dec 18 Kilo-2 milestone: Feb 5 Kilo-3 milestone, feature freeze: March 19 2015.1 ("Kilo") release: Apr 30 L Design Summit: May 18-22 The main issue is that it would make a *very* short L cycle. Our best bet for the M design summit is the week of October 26, so L release would be Oct 8 or Oct 15. I placed Kilo release on April 23 on the original plan to try to limit the impact. If you think shorter is not an issue, I guess that's a valid option. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
