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

The Antelope-2 milestone is next week, on January 5, 2023! 
Antelope-related specs should now be finalized so that teams can move to 
implementation ASAP. Some teams observe specific deadlines on the second 
milestone (mostly spec freezes): please refer to 
https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/schedule.html for details.

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

Libraries need to be released at least once per milestone period. Next 
week, the release team will propose releases for any library that has 
not been otherwise released since milestone 1. PTL's and release 
liaisons, please watch for these and give a +1 to acknowledge them. If 
there is some reason to hold off on a release, let us know that as well. 
A +1 would be appreciated, but if we do not hear anything at all by the 
end of the week, we will assume things are OK to proceed.

Remember that non-library deliverables that follow the 
cycle-with-intermediary release model should have an 
intermediary release before milestone-2. Those who haven't will be 
proposed to switch to the cycle-with-rc model, which is more suited to 
deliverables that are released only once per cycle.

Next week is also the deadline to freeze the contents of the final 
release. All new 'Antelope' deliverables need to have a deliverable file 
in https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables 
and need to have done a release by milestone-2.

Changes proposing those deliverables for inclusion in Antelope have been 
posted, please update them with an actual release request before the 
milestone-2 deadline if you plan on including that deliverable in 
Antelope, or -1 if you need one more cycle to be ready.
