Virtually all of the important ones are in flight with code under review:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://launchpad.net/nova/+milestone/essex-rc1">https://launchpad.net/nova/+milestone/essex-rc1</a></div><div><br></div><div>We could use reviews all of the outstanding branches so we can get them merged. There are a few smallish bugs that I have marked wishlist that have no one assigned. I'm ok with shipping rc-1 without those fixed, but they sure would be nice to have in. If anyone has time to take them and get a fix in that would be awesome.</div><div><br></div><div>I think with a concerted effort we could be ready to ship rc-1 by the release meeting on tuesday.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy Hacking!</div><div><br></div><div>Vish</div></body></html>
