<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">The Antelope-2 milestone will happen next month, on January 5th, 2023.</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">2023.1 Antelope-related specs should now be finalized so that teams can</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">move to implementation ASAP. Some teams observe specific deadlines on</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">the second milestone (mostly spec freezes): please refer to</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/schedule.html for details.</span></div>

<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">-------------------</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Please remember that libraries need to be released at least once per</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">milestone period. At milestone 2, the release team will propose releases</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">for any library that has not been otherwise released since milestone 1.</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Other non-library deliverables that follow the cycle-with-intermediary</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">release model should have an intermediary release before milestone-2.</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Those who haven't will be proposed to switch to the cycle-with-rc model,</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">which is more suited to deliverables that are released only once per</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">cycle.</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">(Note: cycle-with-rc release model does not suit for every project)</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">At milestone-2 we also freeze the contents of the final release. If you</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">have a new deliverable that should be included in the final release, you</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">should make sure it has a deliverable file in:</span></div>

<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">You should request a beta release (or intermediary release) for those new</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">deliverables by milestone-2. We understand some may not be quite ready</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">for a full release yet, but if you have something minimally viable to</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">get released it would be good to do a 0.x release to exercise the release</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">tooling for your deliverables. See the MembershipFreeze description for</span></div>

<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Finally, now may be a good time for teams to check on any stable</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">releases that need to be done for your deliverables. If you have</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">bugfixes that have been backported, but no stable release getting</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">those. If you are unsure what is out there committed but not released,</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">in the openstack/releases repo, running the command</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">"tools/list_stable_unreleased_changes.sh <cycle_name>" gives a nice report.</span></div>
