Development Focus ----------------- We are on the final mile of the 2024.2 Dalmatian development cycle! Remember that the 2024.2 Dalmatian final release will include the latest release candidate (for cycle-with-rc deliverables) or the latest intermediary release (for cycle-with-intermediary deliverables) available. September 26th, 2024 is the deadline for final 2024.2 Dalmatian 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 October 2nd, 2024. Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that deadline. Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2025.1 Epoxy development cycle, including discussing PTG sessions content, in preparation of Project Teams Gathering. Actions ------- Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/2024.2 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/2024.2 branch before triggering a new release. Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the upcoming release !
