<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">2023.2 Bobcat-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/bobcat/schedule.html for details.</span></div>

<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">General Information</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;">Libraries need to be released at least once per milestone period. Next</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">week, the release team will propose releases for any library that has not</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">been otherwise released since milestone 1. PTL's and release liaisons,</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">please watch for these and give a +1 to acknowledge them. If there is</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">some reason to hold off on a release, let us know that as well. A +1</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">would be appreciated, but if we do not hear anything at all by the end</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">of the week, we will assume things are OK to proceed.</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Remember that non-library deliverables that follow the</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">cycle-with-intermediary release model should have an intermediary</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">release before milestone-2. Those who haven't will be proposed to switch</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">to the cycle-with-rc model, which is more suited to deliverables that</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">are released only once per cycle.</span></div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Next week is also the deadline to freeze the contents of the final</span></div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">release. All new '2023.2 Bobcat' deliverables need to have a deliverable</span></div>

<div class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">2023.2 Bobcat, or -1 if you need one more cycle to be ready.</span></div>
