This is the final countdown email for the Rocky development cycle. Thanks to
everyone involved in the Rocky release! 

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

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

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

The release team plans on doing the final Rocky release on 29 August. We will
re-tag the last commit used for the final RC using the final version number.

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to take a look at the
Stein schedule and start planning team activities:

Actions

PTLs and release liaisons should watch for the final release patch from the
release team. While not required, we would appreciate having an ack from each
team before we approve it on the 29th.
