Welcome back to the release countdown emails! These will be sent at major points in the Ussuri development cycle, which should conclude with a final release on May 13, 2020. Development Focus ----------------- At this stage in the release cycle, focus should be on planning the Ussuri development cycle, assessing Ussuri community goals and approving Ussuri specs. General Information ------------------- Please note that the Ussuri cycle will be slightly longer than past cycles (30 weeks). In case you haven't seen it yet, please take a look over the schedule for this release: https://releases.openstack.org/ussuri/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 Train release are continued in Ussuri with a similar release model. If you intend to drop a deliverable, or modify its release model, please do so before the ussuri-1 milestone by proposing a change to the deliverable file at: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/ussuri Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Forum+PTG at Shanghai summit: November 4 Ussuri-1 milestone: December 12 (R-22 week)
