# Keystone Team Update - Weeks of 25 December 2017 and 1 January 2018 ## News Happy new year! Things have been slow during the holiday season so not much to report. The policy meeting was short but we talked about starting up our investigations into other RBAC systems again. Lance kicked off a thread to gauge interest[1]. We're also ready to start planning for the PTG. Please add your ideas to the etherpad[2] [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-January/125998.html [2] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/keystone-rocky-ptg ## Open Specs Search query: https://goo.gl/pc8cCf None at this time ## Recently Merged Changes Search query: https://goo.gl/gu9yQa We merged 28 changes in the last two weeks. A lot of those were to convert the old dependency-injection mechanism for internal APIs to use a centralized provider manager. ## Changes that need Attention Search query: https://goo.gl/CkMmbK There are 74 changes that are passing CI, not in merge conflict, have no negative reviews and aren't proposed by bots. In particular, there are a set of changes that reorganize our api-ref into a consistent format that are ready to go: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+topic:api-ref-reorganization ## Milestone Outlook https://releases.openstack.org/queens/schedule.html The extras-ATC deadline is next week, so if there are any non-code keystone contributors that we need to get on the list we should figure that out ASAP. The following week is the final non-client library release date, so things like keystonemiddleware, keystoneauth, oslo.policy, etc will need a final release. Feature freeze is the following week - Jan 22 -2 26 - so all of our in-flight major features will have to be merged by the end of that week. ## Help with this newsletter Help contribute to this newsletter by editing the etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/keystone-team-newsletter
