Now's the time for merging your 2026.1/Gazpacho release highlights, so if you have something you want to mention then write and push cycle-highlights additions for the corresponding deliverable files in the openstack/releases repository at your earliest opportunity. The OpenInfra marketing machine is getting ready to digest what's at https://releases.openstack.org/gazpacho/highlights.html and put together a press release and package for news outlets. They're interested in whatever you're excited to include, but especially anything related to AI, digital sovereignty, security, or VMware feature parity. Please get your highlights in this week if at all possible! -- Jeremy Stanley
