Welcome back to the release countdown emails! These will be sent at major points in the Xena development cycle, which should conclude with a final release on 06 October, 2021.
Development Focus -----------------
At this stage in the release cycle, focus should be on planning the Xena development cycle, assessing Xena community goals and approving Xena specs.
General Information -------------------
Xena is a 25 weeks development cycle. In case you haven't seen it yet, please take a look over the schedule for this release: https://releases.openstack.org/xena/schedule.html
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: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/data/release_liaiso...
By default, all your team deliverables from the Xena release are continued in Xena with a similar release model.
Upcoming Deadlines & Dates --------------------------
