Ok, folks,

We're now one week from the branching G-3, and this means G-3 is officially
close to any blueprints that are not already in code review.

<soapbox> Now we now need to shift our focus to making sure that Grizzly is
a stable & well-documented release.  To insure stability, we need to make
sure that even items already in review are only merged if they are of high
quality and been through a thorough review.  A feature merged just so it
can make it before a deadline will result in additional bugs that need to
be fixed, reviewed, and discussed during a time when we really need to be
focused on testing + documenting to make users of Quantum Grizzly
successful. </soapbox>

At this point, no work should be merged without a blueprint or bug that is
targeted at G-3.  If you're a sub-team lead, please identify any G-3
blueprints under review that aren't getting enough attention, and ask the
developer to either get two active cores to sign up for the review, or two
move it out of Grizzly.  Also please keep an eye on G-3 bugs in your area
filed  to make sure they are small and focused changes.   Mark will be
leading bug triage, and highlighting high priority issues that are not
currently assign.

Finally, documentation is something we got started on WAY to late in
Folsom, and I don't want to repeat that mistake in Grizzly.  Since the
feature-set of Grizzly is now fixed due to the freeze, as a sub-team lead,
please review issues from G-1 through G-3 and make sure there are
documentation bugs filed for each of them (both Admin + API docs, as
necessary).  If possible, please update the whiteboard of the issue with a
link to the doc issue(s).  For items still in review, please do not merge a
feature until all appropriate doc bugs have been created.  Two weeks from
now, our team meetings should be focused almost entirely on doc + bug
fixes.

There's a lot of reviewing, bug fixing, and document to be done.  Please
reach out to the team list or me early on if an issue arises, so we don't
leave things until the final review days.  This week tends to be the most
demanding week of the entire release cycle, so I want to thank everyone in
advance for your effort during the big review crunch.   See you all on
gerrit!

Dan
