Welcome back to the release countdown emails! These will be sent at major
points in the Ussuri development cycle, which should conclude with a final
release on May 13, 2020.

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

At this stage in the release cycle, focus should be on planning the Ussuri
development cycle, assessing Ussuri community goals and approving Ussuri specs.

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

Please note that the Ussuri cycle will be slightly longer than past cycles
(30 weeks). In case you haven't seen it yet, please take a look over the
schedule for this release:

By default, the team PTL is responsible for handling the release cycle and
approving release requests. This task can (and probably should) be delegated to
release liaisons. Now is a good time to review release liaison information for
your team and make sure it is up to date:

By default, all your team deliverables from the Train release are continued in
Ussuri with a similar release model. If you intend to drop a deliverable, or
modify its release model, please do so before the ussuri-1 milestone by
proposing a change to the deliverable file at:
