Vancouver Community Contributor Awards
======================================
The Community contributor awards gives recognition to those that are
undervalued, don't know they're appreciated, bind the community together, keep
things fun, or challenge some norm. There are a lot of people out there that
could use a pat on the back and affirmation that they do good work in the
community.

Nomination period is open now [0] until May 14th. Winners will be announced in
feedback session at Vancouver.

Final Queens RC Deadline
========================
Thursday 22nd of April is the deadline for any final Queens release candidates.
We'll enter a quiet period for a week in preparation of tagging the final
Queens release during the PTG week. Make sure if  you have patches merged to
stable/queens that you propose a new RC before the deadline. PTLs should watch
for a patch from the release management team tagging the final release. While
not required, an acknowledgement on the patch would be appreciated.

Do Not Import oslo_db.tests.*
=============================
Deprecations were made on oslo_db.sqlalchemy.test_base package of DbFixture and
DbTestCase. In a patch [0], and assumption was made to that these should be
imported from oslo_db.tests.sqlalchemy. Cinder, Ironic and Glance have been
found with this issue [1].

Unfortunately these were not prefixed with underscores to comply with naming
conventions for people to recognize private code. The tests module was included
for consumers to run those tests on their own packages easily.

Some New Zuul Features
======================
Default timeout is 30 minutes for "post-run" phase of the job. A new attribute
"timeout" [0] can set this to something else, which could be useful for a job
that performs a long artifact upload.

Two new job attributes added "host-vars" and "group-vars" [1] which behave like
"vars" but applies to a specific host or group.
