Development Focus -----------------
We are on the final mile of the Zed development cycle!
Remember that the Zed final release will include the latest release candidate (for cycle-with-rc deliverables) or the latest intermediary release (for cycle-with-intermediary deliverables) available.
September 29th, 2022 is the deadline for final Zed release candidates as well as any last cycle-with-intermediary deliverables. We will then enter a quiet period until we tag the final release on October 5th, 2022. Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that deadline.
Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2023.1 Antelope development cycle, including discussing Forum and PTG sessions content, in preparation of Virtual PTG @ October 17-21, 2022.
Actions -------
Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/zed branch and merge them quickly. If you discover a release-critical issue, please make sure to fix it on the master branch first, then backport the bugfix to the stable/zed branch before triggering a new release.
Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the upcoming release !
