Development Focus ----------------- We are on the final mile of the 2025.2 "Flamingo" development cycle! Remember that the 2025.2 "Flamingo" 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, 2025 is the deadline for final 2025.2 "Flamingo" 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 1st, 2025. Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that deadline. Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2026.1 "Gazpacho" development cycle, including discussing Forum and PTG sessions content, in preparation of OpenInfra Summit Europe (Paris-Saclay, France; October 17th-19th, 2025) and virtual OpenStack PTG (October 27th-31st, 2025). Actions ------- Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/2025.2 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/2025.2 branch before triggering a new release. Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the upcoming release !
