Development Focus ----------------- We will be releasing the coordinated OpenStack Zed release next week, on October 5th, 2022. Thanks to everyone involved in the Zed cycle! We are now in pre-release freeze, so no new deliverable will be created until final release, unless a release-critical regression is spotted. Otherwise, teams attending the virtual PTG should start to plan what they will be discussing there, by creating and filling team etherpads. You can access the list of PTG etherpads at: http://ptg.openstack.org/etherpads.html General Information ------------------- On release day, the release team will produce final versions of deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, by re-tagging the commit used for the last RC. A patch doing just that will be proposed. PTLs and release liaisons should watch for that final release patch from the release team. While not required, we would appreciate having an ack from each team before we approve it on the 5th, so that their approval is included in the metadata that goes onto the signed tag.
