In case people don't follow the OpenStack development mailing list, I'd like to point out a current discussion: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-December/125473.html
The discussion is about a possible move to a once per year release cycle for OpenStack with one Project Team Gathering (PTG) per year at the start of the release cycle. Individual OpenStack projects would be free to do intermediate releases, and the current use of milestones within a release would continue but with perhaps an 8 week spacing between milestones. The discussion also touches upon providing a longer interval for functional testing prior to release. The OpenContrail TSC and/or GWG should discuss whether it would make sense to align the OpenContrail release cycle with the new OpenStack release cycle (assuming that OpenStack does move to the once a year model, right now it's just a mailing list discussion, I don't think it has been voted on yet by the OpenStack TC). Two possible options are to align OpenContrail functional testing and release candidates to the same time period as OpenStack and release at the same time, or to choose a fixed offset. For example, set OpenContrail release 2 or 4 weeks after OpenStack release. Of course it's not necessary for OpenContrail to coordinate release schedule at all with OpenStack, but if OpenStack does move to a one release per year cycle it's at least worth discussing the pros and cons of aligning OpenContrail to the same calendar. -- Paul Carver VoIP: 732-545-7377 Cell: 908-803-1656 E: pcar...@att.com<mailto:pcar...@att.com> Q Instant Message<qto://talk/pc2929> It is difficult to make predictions.
