Hi Everyone,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, July 9th, will be the qa-specs review day.
Hopefully we'll be able to work through the backlog tomorrow. If a more
interactive discussion for a spec review is needed we can handle that on IRC in
the #openstack-qa channel. Also, to really make progress shortening the list we
also need people who submitted specs to be around to respond to reviews.

Right now we're at:

 - Open Reviews: 27
   - Waiting on Submitter: 12
   - Waiting on Reviewer: 15

While those numbers don't seem too large (especially compared to other projects'
backlogs) given our average velocity on specs reviews so far that's more than
we'd be able to get to in Juno. So let's see how much progress we can make
tomorrow and try to close out the backlog!

The list of all the open specs reviews can be found here:

Thanks,
