Development Focus -----------------
The Antelope-2 milestone is next week, on January 5, 2023! Antelope-related specs should now be finalized so that teams can move to implementation ASAP. Some teams observe specific deadlines on the second milestone (mostly spec freezes): please refer to https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/schedule.html for details.
General Information -------------------
Libraries need to be released at least once per milestone period. Next week, the release team will propose releases for any library that has not been otherwise released since milestone 1. PTL's and release liaisons, please watch for these and give a +1 to acknowledge them. If there is some reason to hold off on a release, let us know that as well. A +1 would be appreciated, but if we do not hear anything at all by the end of the week, we will assume things are OK to proceed.
Remember that non-library deliverables that follow the cycle-with-intermediary release model should have an intermediary release before milestone-2. Those who haven't will be proposed to switch to the cycle-with-rc model, which is more suited to deliverables that are released only once per cycle.
Next week is also the deadline to freeze the contents of the final release. All new 'Antelope' deliverables need to have a deliverable file in https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables and need to have done a release by milestone-2.
Changes proposing those deliverables for inclusion in Antelope have been posted, please update them with an actual release request before the milestone-2 deadline if you plan on including that deliverable in Antelope, or -1 if you need one more cycle to be ready.
I am sure tox4 failure will cause some delay in this milestone release especially who has fewer active contributors or they are on extended holidays. Many of us are fixing tox4 errors in many projects, requesting them to merge asap, or other projects can refer to the changes as they are very straight forwards. - https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:tox4 -gmann
