To reinforce what Elod said - 

These are really important to communicating with users, operators and the wider ecosystem about what new features they can take advantage of, issues that have been resolved and anything else that might affect openstack deployments. We make heavy use of these in the press releases we put out each release cycle. 

So please please get your cycle highlights added and feel free to add me as a reviewer!

Hi,

This is a reminder, that *this week* is the week for Cycle highlights
[1][2]! They need to be added to deliverable yamls so that they can be
included in release marketing preparations. (See the details about how
to add them at the project team guide [3])

Note that the deadline was the Feature Freeze date in previous cycles,
but due to requests of PTLs it was decided to postpone one week in the
future (to R-4 week). This is better for PTLs as they are usually very
busy around Feature Freeze, on the other hand gives less time to
marketing team to process the highlights.


Thanks,

Előd Illés
