Hi all,


Thanks for the feedback offline and indicating that I need to clear my
intent on why this email was sent.


This email was intended primarily to the Glance team to know more about
what the release plans look like as not everyone is able to attend the
meetings and it's near to impossible to keep everyone in the loop,
ad-hoc, on when I intend to work on release stuff.

I guess, I should have mentioned that I am putting my release-liaison
hat on, for establishing the awareness tone of this email. It wasn't a
directive to the team rather a call for partnership to adhere to the
timeline proposed. The purpose is -- People are welcome to contribute
but are not forced to do so; at the same time people may want to know
about the dates to target their bugs/reviews accordingly and help
prioritize the work. Also, as reviews are merged the gate may sometimes
become unstable where the team will benefit from knowing that such
possibility is at hand and something to watch out for.


Part of this email specific to the releases was from 'a release liaison
role'  and I do apologize for missing out on adding that info in the
email. It is more of a plan for me that other are welcome to join in and
all non-mandatory help on this front is greatly appreciated.


May be the title also can be changed a bit to indicate that it is a
awareness and focus email that indicates focus of subset of individuals
(of course, OpenStack is a community so great number of things are
non-mandatory :-) ).


I am sorry if this has been hurtful to some.
