Open Stack

Hello Stackers,

As mentioned in the earlier "Rocky PTG summary - miscellaneous topics 
from Friday" email, this cycle we're going to experiment with a 
"runways" system for focusing review on approved blueprints in 
time-boxes. The goal here is to use a bit more structure and process in 
order to focus review and complete merging of approved work more quickly 
and reliably.

We were thinking of starting the runways process after the spec review 
freeze (which is April 19) so that reviewers won't be split between spec 
reviews and reviews of work in runways.

The process and instructions are explained in detail on this etherpad, 
which will also serve as the place we queue and track blueprints for 
runways:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-runways-rocky

Please bear with us as this is highly experimental and we will be giving 
it a go knowing it's imperfect and adjusting the process iteratively as 
we learn from it.

Do check out the etherpad and ask questions on this thread or on IRC and 
we'll do our best to answer them.

Cheers,
