Release notes of different projects for Queens are available [0] and a list of projects [1] that still need to approve their release note patches! [0] - https://releases.openstack.org/queens/ [1] - http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-February/127813.html Full message: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-February/127812.html Release Cycles vs. Downstream consumers PTG Summary =================================================== Notes can be found on the original etherpad [0]. A TC resolution is in review [1] TLDR summary: * No consensus on longer / shorter release cycles * Focus on FFU to make upgrades less painful * Longer stable branch maintenance time (18 months for Ocata) * Bootstrap the "extended maintenance" concept with common policy * Group most impacted by release cadence are packagers/distros/vendors * Need for finer user survey questions on upgrade models * Need more data and more discussion, next discussion at Vancouver forum * Release Management team tracks it between events [0] - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/release-cycles-ptg-rocky [1] - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/548916/ Full message: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128005.html Pros and Cons of face-to-face Meetings ====================================== Some contributors might not be able to attend the PTG for various reasons: * Health issues * Privilege issues (like not getting visa or travel permits) * Caretaking responsibilities (children, other family, animals, plants) * Environmental concerns There is a concern if this is preventing us from meeting our four opens [1] if people are not able to attend the events. The PTG sessions are not recorded, but there is a super user article on how teams can do this themselves [0]. At the PTG in Denver, the OpenStack Foundation provided bluetooth speakers for teams to help with remote participation. Consensus is this may not be trivial for everyone and it could still be a challenge for remote participants due to things like audio quality. Some people at the PTG in Dublin due to the weather had to participate remotely from their hotel room and felt it challenging to partipate.
