Hello Stackers,

This week, the community has been actively testing the release candidates from the 2024.2 release cycle [1]; you might notice projects re-spin their RCs if blocking bugs are reported. Our 2025.1 election season will conclude tomorrow, 2024-09-18. If you haven't already voted, please check your emails for a ballot [2]. There haven't been any governance changes made by the OpenStack Technical Committee this week. However, there are several proposals available for the community's review.

=== Weekly Meeting ===

Last week's meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee was held on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel on 2024-09-10. The meeting logs are available on eavesdrop [3]. At this meeting, we started compiling a set of topics for the 2025.2 Project Teams' Gathering in October [4]. Please feel free to suggest any topics that may be of interest to you. Dr. Jens Harbott (frickler) shared a tracker organized by the release management team [5]. The tracker highlighted several projects where PTLs or release management liaisons had not reviewed releases for their projects. The release management team has the authority to tag releases of OpenStack software at any time, but it relies on the release liaisons (and Project Team Leads) to vet any release proposals that they make. If you are a Project Team Lead or a release liaison of an OpenStack deliverable that has releases, please take a look at the tracker and the guide on Liaison Responsibilities [6]. Your timely action will help ensure a smooth delivery process for the software you work on.

The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2024-09-17, at 1800 UTC on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please find the agenda for the meeting on the meeting wiki [7].
