Hello, Doug,

One question, according to the guide for self-branch[1], the Ocata stable branch should be created for RC1 tag for projects using the cycle-with-milestone release model. The date for RC1 one is Jan 30 - Feb 03 according to the schedule [2]. Tricircle is one big-tent project with  cycle-with-intermediary mode, and has dependency on stable Neutron, should Tricircle Ocata stable branch be created during  Jan 30 - Feb 03 or later than Feb 03? I think Neutron Ocata stable branch will be created during Jan 30 - Feb 03.

Subject: [openstack-dev] [release] Release countdown for week R-5, Jan 16-20

Focus
-----

Feature work and major refactoring should be starting to wrap up
as we approach the third milestone and various feature and release
freeze dates.

The deadline for non-client library releases is Thursday 19 Jan.
We do not grant Feature Freeze Extensions for any libraries, so
that is a hard freeze date. Any feature work that requires updates
to non-client libraries should be prioritized so it can be completed
by that time.

Release Tasks
-------------

As we did at the end of Newton, when the time comes to create
stable/ocata branches they will be configured so that members of
the $project-release group in gerrit have permission to approve
patches.  This group should be a small subset of the core review
team, aware of the priorities and criteria for patches to be approved
as we work toward release candidates. Release liaisons should ensure
that these groups exist in gerrit and that their membership is
correct for this cycle.  Please coordinate with the release management
team if you have any questions.

General Notes
-------------

We will start the soft string freeze during R-4 (23-27 Jan). See
https://releases.openstack.org/ocata/schedule.html#o-soft-sf for
details
