Open Stack

Development Focus
-----------------

Teams should be focused on implementing planned work for the cycle and bug
fixes.

General Information
-------------------

The deadline for extra ATC's is coming up on January 12. If there is someone
that contributes to your project in a way that is not reflected by the usual
metrics. Extra-ATCs can be added by submitting an update to the
reference/projects.yaml file in the openstack/governance repo.

As we get closer to the end of the cycle, we have deadlines coming up for
client and non-client libraries to ensure any dependency issues are worked out
and we have time to make any critical fixes before the final release
candidates. To this end, it is good practice to release libraries throughout
the cycle once they have accumulated any significant functional changes.

The following libraries appear to have some merged changes that have not been
release that could potentially impact consumers of the library. It would be
good to consider getting these released ahead of the deadline to make sure the
changes have some run time:
    
    openstack/cliff
    openstack/keystoneauth
    openstack/kuryr
    openstack/neutron-lib
    openstack/os-brick
    openstack/osc-placement
    openstack/oslo.cache
    openstack/oslo.messaging
    openstack/oslo.policy
    openstack/oslo.service
