The end is near! Before I continue with the countdown info for next week, just a reminder that today, 8th February, is the RC1 milestone. Please make sure your project submits a release patch for an RC (cycle-with-milestones) or final (cycle-with-intermediary) release with a request to create a stable/queens branch today if you have not already done so.
Development Focus ----------------- Teams should be working on release critical bugs in preparation of the final release. General Information ------------------- Any cycle-with-milestones projects that missed the RC1 deadline should prepare an RC1 release as soon as possible. After all of the cycle-with-milestone projects have branched we will branch devstack, grenade, and the requirements repos. This will effectively open them back up for Rocky development, though the focus should still be on finishing up Queens until the final release. Actions --------- Watch for any translation patches coming through and merge them quickly. If your project has a stable/queens branch created, please make sure those patches are also merged there. Keep in mind there will need to be a final release candidate cut to capture any merged translations and critical bug fixes from this branch. Please also check for completeness in release notes and add any relevant "prelude" content. These notes are targetted for the downstream consumers of your project, so it would be great to include any useful information for those that are going to pick up and use or deploy the Queens version of your project. We also have the cycle-highlights information in the project deliverable files. This one is targeted at marketing and other consumers that typically been pinging PTLs every release asking for "what's new" in this release. If you have not done so already, please add a few highlights for your team that would be useful for this kind of consumer. This would be a good time for any release:independent projects to add the history for any releases not yet listed in their deliverable file. These files are under the deliverable/_independent directory in the openstack/releases repo. We are still missing cycle-with-intermediary releases for heat-translator, patrole, and tacker-horizon. If we do not receive release requests for these repos soon we will be forced to create a release from the latest commit to create a stable/queens branch. The release team would rather not be the ones initiating this release, so please submit a release patch for these as soon as possible.
