Hi Everyone,

Just like Nova [1] the QA program has adopted the proposal [2] to use gerrit to
review blueprint specifications.

The openstack/qa-specs repo is now ready for submissions. Changes are submitted
to it like any other gerrit project. The README and a template for submitting
new specifications can be found here:

    http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/qa-specs/tree/README.rst

    http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/qa-specs/tree/template.rst

Please note that *all* Juno blueprints, including ones that were previously
approved for a previous cycle, must go through this new process.  This will
help ensure that blueprints previously approved still make sense, as well as
ensure that all Juno specs follow a more complete and consistent format. All
outstanding Tempest blueprints from Icehouse have already been moved back into
the 'New' state on Launchpad in preparation for a specification proposal using
the new process.

Everyone, not just tempest and grenade cores, should feel welcome to provide
reviews and feedback on these specification proposals. Just like for code
reviews we really appreciate anyone who takes the time to provide an insightful
review.

Since this is still a new process for all the projects I fully expect this
process to evolve throughout the Juno cycle. But, I can honestly say that we
have already seen positive effects from this new process even with only a
handful of specifications going through the process.


Thanks,

Matt Treinish
