<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>For the last few meetings, we've been discussing how to prioritize the work that we need to get done as we approach the close of Icehouse development. There's still some distance between where we are and where we need to be -- integration with other projects (eg. Nova), CI testing of that integration (eg. via devstack), and fixing bugs that we continue to find.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As core reviewers need to focus their time during the last week of I-3, we've discussed postponing cosmetic changes, particularly patches that just refactor code without any performance or feature benefit, to the start of Juno. [1] So, later today I am going to block patches that do not have important functional changes and are non-trivial in scope (eg, take more than a minute to read), are related to low-priority or wishlist items, or are not targeted to Icehouse.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Near the end of the week, I will retarget incomplete blueprints to the Juno release.</div><div><br></div><div>Next week is the TripleO developer sprint, which coincides with the close of I-3. Many Ironic developers and more than half of our core review team will also be there. This will give us a good opportunity to hammer out testing and integration issues and work on bug fixes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Over the next month, I would like us to stabilize what we have, add further integration and functional testing to our gate, and write deployer/usage documentation.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div>
