Hi team,
Glance Newton rc1 is available, if you did not get a chance [1]. This also means that all further Newton specific fixes need to first merge in master and then backported to stable/newton branch (only stable maint team has core rights on that branch [2]). The master branch is open for Ocata development including new features, doc fixes, string fixes, etc. So, those who haven't already please make it a point to lift up your (cores') -2s/-Ws [3] blocks on the reviews you've helped stopped during the Newton-3, RC1 phase or any Newton phase for that matter. This is the time we need to start evaluating the potential of those reviews for Ocata cycle. Please NOTE: If an important (for those concerned) bug/feature is being asked to move ahead and if the -2/-W by cores are not lifted up by *EOD-September-19th*, we may encourage the developers to abandon that review and propose an alternate one. And for all other reviews with -2/-W by core(s) & are not abandoned, we will wait until *EOD-September-30th* after which either they will be either abandoned or the developer will be asked to propose alternative if -2/-W is not lifted. So, if you think that your -2/-W still counts (irrespective of your earlier comment), please comment elaborately *again* on that review so that everyone can be aware of your stance and help better resolve the situation for everyone involved. Thank you for your cooperation.

This is to help review the patch and indicate if it's okay to move forward after the release date i.e. a core may give a +2 to indicate that the patch is technically okay but -W it, to wait process wise. The block is interpretation based on cores' opinions so let's not have more opinions/process on how /you/ think the block should be. -- Thanks, Nikhil __________________________________________________________________________ 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
