<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">-----------------</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">We will be releasing the coordinated OpenStack 2023.2 Bobcat release next</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">week, on Wednesday, October 4th, 2023. Thanks to everyone involved in the</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">2023.2 Bobcat cycle!</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">We are now in pre-release freeze, so no new deliverable will be created</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">until final release, unless a release-critical regression is spotted.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Otherwise, teams attending the virtual PTG should start to plan</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">what they will be discussing there, by creating and filling team etherpads.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">You can access the list of PTG etherpads at:</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">-------------------</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">On release day, the release team will produce final versions of</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, by re-tagging</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">the commit used for the last RC.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">A patch doing just that will be proposed. PTLs and release liaisons should</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">watch for that final release patch from the release team. While not</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">required, we would appreciate having an ack from each team before we</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">approve it on the 4th, so that their approval is included in the metadata</span></div>
<div class="elementToProof"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">that goes onto the signed tag.</span></div>
