Currently we publicly track and adjust release goals through the series
blueprints in Launchpad (for example:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/folsom for Quantum). You can
see a combined view for all Folsom at:
http://wiki.openstack.org/releasestatus/ . The plan is initially seeded
by the PTLs after the design summit, then continuously adjusted to
reflect reality (with a status update every week at the Project &
Release status meeting).

These public plans can then be used by anyone who wants to present them
in webinars or user group meetups, and anyone is free to comment on them
and provide input.
