Hello Everyone!

Development Focus
-----------------
We are now past the Train-2 milestone, and entering the last development phase of the cycle. Teams should be focused on implementing planned work for the cycle. Now is  a good time to review those plans and reprioritize anything if needed based on the what progress has been made and what looks realistic to complete in the next few weeks.

General Information
-------------------
The following cycle-with-intermediary deliverables have not done any intermediary release yet during this cycle. The cycle-with-rc release model is more suited for deliverables that plan to be released only once per cycle. As a result, we will be proposing to change the release model for the following deliverables:

blazar-dashboard
cloudkitty-dashboard
ec2-api
freezer-web-ui
freezer
heat-agents
heat-dashboard
ironic-ui
karbor-dashboard
karbor
kuryr-kubernetes
magnum-ui
manila-ui
masakari-dashboard
monasca-agent
monasca-api
monasca-ceilometer
monasca-events-api
monasca-kibana-plugin
monasca-log-api
monasca-notification
monasca-persister
monasca-thresh
monasca-transform
monasca-ui
murano-agent
networking-baremetal
networking-generic-switch
networking-hyperv
neutron-fwaas-dashboard
neutron-vpnaas-dashboard
requirements
sahara-extra
senlin-dashboard
solum-dashboard
tacker-horizon
tricircle
vitrage-dashboard
vitrage
watcher-dashboard

PTLs and release liaisons for each of those deliverables can either +1 the release model change when we get them pushed, or propose an intermediary release for that deliverable. In absence of answer by the start of R-10 week we'll consider that the switch to cycle-with-rc is preferable.
