Release Models To Be Frozen Around Mitaka-2
===========================================
* Deadline: Mitaka-2, January 21st
* Example, your release model is release:independent, and you want to switch to
  cycle-oriented models (e.g. release:cycle-with-intermediary or
  release:cycle-with-milestones). [4]
* To change your project, propose an openstack/governance change in
  reference/projects.yaml file [5].

  developer.openstack.org

"Upstream Development” Track At the Austin OpenStack Summit
===========================================================
* Call for speakers [11] for the OpenStack conference in Austin will have a new
  track targeted towards upstream OpenStack developers.
  - Learn about new development processes
  - Tools that the infrastructure team gives us
  - New OSLO library features (or elsewhere)
  - Best practices
* Probably Monday before the design summit tracks start.
* Have a topic that fits this audience? Submit it! [12]
* Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-January/083958.html

You Almost Never Need to Change Every Repository
================================================
* There have been a lot of patches that tweak the same thing across many, many
  repositories.
* Standardizations are great, but if you’re making the same change to more than
  a few repositories, we should be looking at another way to have that change
  applied.
* If you find yourself making the same change over and over in a lot of
  projects, start a conversation on the dev mailing list first.
