Hello Cinderinos,

We're near the end of week R-8, and people are getting antsy about having their changes reviewed. So here are the Cinder project reviewing priorities over the next few weeks.

(1) os-brick The Victoria release of os-brick must take place during week R-6 (i.e., by 31 August). Hence, os-brick reviews are the project's TOP PRIORITY right now. Among os-brick reviews, these are the most important changes: - support for volume-local-cache feature https://review.opendev.org/663549

- support for cinderlib RBD use https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:cinderlib-changes+status:open

- code cleanup (should be quick reviews)

https://review.opendev.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/os-brick+branch...

There are some other open reviews in master; if they interest you, go for it. But the above are release-critical.

(2) cinder features requiring python-cinderclient support The Victoria release of python-cinderclient must take place during week R-5 (i.e., by 7 September). - project-level default volume-types cinder: https://review.opendev.org/737707 cinderclient: https://review.opendev.org/739223/

- active-active support https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:a-a-support+status:open

There are other open reviews in master for python-cinderclient that could use some eyes. I didn't see anything major, but it would be good to look in case I missed something.

(3) other features (including drivers) The feature freeze is the end of R-5 (i.e., 8 September) - Use the blueprints to find these: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/victoria

And we'll be reviewing everything else also, but items in the 3 categories above get priority. If your patch is in category (3) or not-prioritized, you can always help speed things up by reviewing the higher-priority items.

We're almost at the end of the Victoria cycle. Let's have a productive few weeks! brian
