<div>Hey OpenStackers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to point out a few commitments made at OpenStack summit during various discussions among the community. Our direction (if your looking for work to do ;) should be the following:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Ansible 2.0 implementation.</li><li>Making the dashboard load automated.</li><li>Extending the kolla gate with more test cases.</li><li>Finishing the job on the threat analysis for kolla repo.</li><li>Sorting out plugins.</li><li>Integrating with bifrost in a "more then documentation" way at least for the Ansible orchestration use case.</li><li>Solving our pain points described here [1].</li></ul>
<div>Finally now that Kolla has released Kolla Liberty 1.1.0 and Kolla Mitaka 2.0.0, Operators expect z-streams to resolve defects. I'd like these to release every 45 days around the time the main milestone is scheduled for release. Since there are NOT features
going into these z-streams, it should be fairly painless to test and release them. Our first z streams are Liberty 1.1.1 [2] and Mitaka 2.0.1 [3].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If your looking to get involved in Kolla, solving pain points or fixing z-streamable defects in master and then backporting them to the stable branches is a great way to come up to speed on the code base!</div>
</div>
