Welcome back to the release countdown emails! These will be sent at
major points in the 2024.1 Caracal development cycle, which should conclude
with a final release on April 3, 2024.

Development Focus
-----------------

At this stage in the release cycle, focus should be on planning the
2024.1 Caracal development cycle, assessing 2024.1 Caracal community goals and approving
2024.1 Caracal specs.

General Information
-------------------

2024.1 Caracal  is a 26 weeks development cycle. In case you haven't seen it yet, please take
a look over the schedule for this release:

By default, the team PTL is responsible for handling the release cycle
and approving release requests. This task can (and probably should) be
delegated to release liaisons. Now is a good time to review release
liaison information for your team and make sure it is up to date:

By default, all your team deliverables from the 2023.2 Bobcat release are
continued in 2024.1 Caracal with a similar release model.
