[release] Release countdown for week R-7
by Thierry Carrez 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

Development Focus ----------------- We are entering the last weeks of the 2026.1 " Gazpacho" development cycle. From now until the final release, we'll send a countdown email like this every week. It's probably a good time for teams to take stock of their library and client work that needs to be completed yet. The non-client library freeze is coming up, followed closely by the client lib freeze. Please plan accordingly to avoid any last minute rushes to get key functionality in. General Information ------------------- Next week is the Extra-AC freeze, in preparation for elections. All contributions to OpenStack are valuable, but some are not expressed as Gerrit code changes. Please list active contributors to your project team who do not have a code contribution this cycle, and therefore won't automatically be considered an Active Contributor and allowed to vote. This is done by adding extra-acs to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/projec… before the Extra-AC freeze on February 12th. A quick reminder of the upcoming freeze dates. Those vary depending on deliverable type: * Oslo libraries are entering feature freeze next week, February 12th. * General libraries (except client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Non-client library freeze (February 19th). Their stable branches are cut early. * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Client library freeze (February 26th) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services) observe a Feature freeze on that same date, February 26th. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing list and get PTL approval. After feature freeze, cycle-with-rc deliverables need to produce a first release candidate (and a stable branch) before RC1 deadline (March 12th) * Deliverables following cycle-with-intermediary model can release as necessary, but in all cases before Final RC deadline (March 26th) Finally, now is also a good time to start planning what highlights you want for your deliverables in the cycle highlights. The deadline to submit an initial version for those is set to one week after Feature freeze (March 5th). Background on cycle-highlights: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-December/125613.html Project Team Guide, Cycle-Highlights: https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#cycle… jeremy [at] openstack.org/fungi on IRC is available if you need help selecting or writing your highlights. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Extra-AC freeze: February 12th, 2026 (R-7 week) Oslo feature freeze: February 12th, 2026 (R-7 week) Non-client library freeze: February 19th, 2026 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: February 26th, 2026 (R-5 week) Gazpacho-3 milestone: February 26th, 2026 (R-5 week) Cycle highlights deadline: March 5th, 2026 (R-4 week) Hibiscus (virtual) PTG: April 20-24, 2026 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[all][elections][ptl][tc] Combined PTL/TC 2026.2 cycle Election Season
by Ian Y. Choi 04 Feb '26

04 Feb '26

Election details: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ The nomination period officially begins Feb 04, 2026 23:45 UTC. Please read the stipulations and timelines for candidates and electorate contained in these governance documents[1][2][3]. Due to circumstances of timing, PTL and TC elections for the coming cycle will run concurrently; deadlines for their nomination and voting activities are synchronized but will still use separate ballots. Please note, if only one candidate is nominated as PTL for a project team during the PTL nomination period, that candidate will win by acclaim, and there will be no poll. There will only be a poll if there is more than one candidate stepping forward for a project team's PTL position. Similarly, there will only be a TC poll if there are more than 5 candidates stepping forward the available TC positions. All members of the community are encouraged to confirm their email address as described at: https://governance.openstack.org/election/#electorate All candidates and prospective voters need to make sure they have reestablished their individual memberships in the Open Infrastructure Foundation https://openinfra.org/a/renew-membership (if this URL redirects you to your profile page, your membership is already renewed and nothing more is required), otherwise their nominations won't be verified and ballots will not be sent. There will be further announcements posted to the mailing list as action is required from the electorate or candidates. This email is for information purposes only. If you have any questions which you feel affect others please reply to this email thread. If you have any questions that you wish to discuss in private please email any of the election officials[4] so that we may address your concerns. Thank you, [1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html [2] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/role-of-the-tc.html [3] https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ptl.html [4] https://governance.openstack.org/election/#election-officials
