Open Stack

Hi,

I discussed with Gabriel, Horizon PTL and we haven't determined the
exact date of
the next RC because we would like to have a couple of days for broader
testing using RC1 release.
Horizon team is aware of the necesity of translation updates for Havana release.
I think the middle of the next week is a reasonable target date to
catch up in translations.

According to the general OpenStack project management based on my
experience as a core dev,
after RC1 is released, the criteria of merging a patch is raised and
core reviewers become very conservative.
I saw just a few string changes in the past release.

Good point. It is an important point from I18N perspective.
It should be discussed and improved for the next release.

"String Freeze" at the last milestone doesn't seem to work to me.
The last milestone is just "Feature Freeze" and it does not mean the
code stability and good quality,
and not a small number of fixes will be done after the last milestone.
The number of bugs in Horizon is small compared to other projects but
87 bugs are fixed.
Many strings changes except FFE blueprints just come from bug fixes
(including inappropriate descriptions)
This is what happened in RC1.

Thanks,
Akihiro
