Welcome back from the Summit and holidays. Back to our regularly scheduled countdown emails. Development Focus ----------------- With the longer development cycle we are still a few weeks out until milestone 2. Hopefully folks got some good input and feedback and the Summit and Forum. Teams should be taking input and adjusting any earlier plans as needed based on this. General Information ------------------- Now may be a good time for teams to check on any stable releases that need to be done for your deliverables. If you have bugfixes that have been backported, but no stable release getting those. If you are unsure what is out there committed but not released, in the openstack/releases repo, running the command "tools/list_stable_unreleased_changes.sh <cycle_name>" gives a nice report. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Start using openstack-discuss ML: November 19 (in case you missed it) Stein-2 Milestone: January 10 -- Sean McGinnis (smcginnis)
