Development Focus
-----------------
We are entering the last weeks
of the Yoga development cycle. From
now until the final release,
we'll send a countdown email like this
every week.
It's probably a good time for
teams to take stock of their library and
client work that needs to be
completed yet. The non-client library freeze
is coming up, followed closely
by the client lib freeze. Please plan
accordingly to avoid any last
minute rushes to get key functionality in.
General Information
-------------------
Next week is the Extra-ATC
freeze, in preparation for elections. All
contributions to OpenStack are
valuable, but some are not expressed as
Gerrit code changes. Please list
active contributors to your project team
who do not have a code
contribution this cycle, and therefore won't
automatically be considered an
Active Technical Contributor and allowed
to vote. This is done by adding
extra-atcs to
before the Extra-ATC freeze on February
10th, 2022.
A quick reminder of the upcoming
freeze dates. Those vary depending on
deliverable type:
* General libraries (except
client libraries) need to have their last
feature release before
Non-client library freeze (February
17th, 2022).
Their stable branches are cut
early.
* Client libraries (think
python-*client libraries) need to have their
last feature release before
Client library freeze (February
24th, 2022)
* Deliverables following a
cycle-with-rc model (that would be most
services) observe a Feature
freeze on that same date, February
24th, 2022.
Any feature addition beyond
that date should be discussed on the
mailing-list and get PTL
approval. After feature freeze, cycle-with-rc
deliverables need to produce a
first release candidate (and a stable
branch) before RC1 deadline (March 7th,
2022)
* Deliverables following
cycle-with-intermediary model can release as
necessary, but in all cases
before Final RC deadline (March
24th, 2022)
Finally, now is also a good time
to start planning what highlights you
want for your deliverables in
the cycle highlights. The deadline to
submit an initial version for
those is set to Feature freeze (February
24th, 2022).
