Open Stack

The end is near!

Development Focus
-----------------

Teams should be working on release critical bugs in preparation of the final
release candidate deadline this Thursday the 23rd.

Teams attending the PTG should also be preparing for those discussions and
capturing information in the etherpads:

General Information
-------------------

Thursday, August 23 is the deadline for final Rocky release candidates. We will
then enter a quiet period until we tag the final release on August 29.

Actions
---------

Watch for any translation patches coming through and merge them quickly. If
your project has a stable/rocky branch created, please make sure those patches
are also getting merged there. (Do not backport the ones from master)

Liaisons for projects with independent deliverables should import the release
history by preparing patches to openstack/releases.

Projects following the cycle-trailing model should be getting ready for the
cycle-trailing RC deadline coming up on August 30.

Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the
upcoming release.
