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

We are on the final mile of the Zed development cycle!

Remember that the Zed final release will include the latest release
candidate (for cycle-with-rc deliverables) or the latest intermediary
release (for cycle-with-intermediary deliverables) available.

September 29th, 2022 is the deadline for final Zed release candidates
as well as any last cycle-with-intermediary deliverables. We will then
enter a quiet period until we tag the final release on October 5th, 2022.
Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that
deadline.

Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2023.1 Antelope development
cycle, including discussing Forum and PTG sessions content, in preparation
of Virtual PTG @ October 17-21, 2022.

Actions
-------

Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/zed
branch and merge them quickly. If you discover a release-critical issue,
please make sure to fix it on the master branch first, then backport the
bugfix to the stable/zed branch before triggering a new release.

Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about
the upcoming release !
