Development Focus ----------------- We are on the final mile of the 2025.1 Epoxy development cycle! Remember that the 2025.1 Epoxy final release will include the latest release candidate (for cycle-with-rc deliverables) or the latest intermediary release (for cycle-with-intermediary deliverables) available. March 28th, 2025 is the deadline for final 2025.1 Epoxy 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 April 2nd, 2025. Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that deadline. Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2025.2 Flamingo development cycle, including discussing Forum and PTG sessions content, in preparation of Project Teams Gathering (virtual), April 7th-11th, 2025. Actions ------- Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/2025.1 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/2025.1 branch before triggering a new release. Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the upcoming release !
