Cross-project events
====================
.. _o-goals-research:
Ocata Goals Research
--------------------
Pre-cycle planning and investigation into `the community-wide goals
for Ocata <http://governance.openstack.org/goals/ocata/index.html>`__.
.. _o-design-summit:
Ocata Design Summit
--------------------
`Planning in Barcelona <https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/>`__
.. _p-ptg0:
Pike Project Team Gathering (PTG)
---------------------------------
`Project team gathering <http://www.openstack.org/ptg>`__ for the Pike
release 20-24 February 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia.
.. _o-1:
Ocata-1 milestone
------------------
17 November is the ocata-1 milestone window for projects following the
`release:cycle-with-milestones`_ model.
.. _release:cycle-with-milestones: http://governance.openstack.org/reference/tags/release_cycle-with-milestones.html
.. _o-goals-ack:
Ocata Community Goals Acknowledgement
-------------------------------------
Teams should prepare their acknowledgement of `the community-wide
goals for Ocata
<http://governance.openstack.org/goals/ocata/index.html>`__.
.. _o-2:
Ocata-2 milestone
------------------
15 December is the ocata-2 milestone window for projects following the
`release:cycle-with-milestones`_ model.
.. _o-final-lib:
Final release for non-client libraries
--------------------------------------
Libraries that are not client libraries (Oslo and others) should issue their
final release during this week. That allows to give time for last-minute
changes before feature freeze.
.. _o-3:
Ocata-3 milestone
------------------
26 January is the ocata-3 milestone window for projects following the
`release:cycle-with-milestones`_ model.
.. _o-goals-complete:
Ocata Community Goals Completed
-------------------------------
Teams should prepare their documentation for completing `the
community-wide goals for Ocata
<http://governance.openstack.org/goals/ocata/index.html>`__.
.. _o-extra-atcs:
Extra-ATCs deadline
-------------------
Project teams should identify contributors who have had a significant
impact this cycle but who would not qualify for ATC status using the
regular process because they have not submitted a patch. Those names
should be added to the governance repo for consideration as ATC for
the future.
Although extra ATCs can be nominated at any point, there is a deadline
to be included in electorate for the next release cycle. The ATC list
needs to be approved by the TC by (TBD), and in order to appear on the
TC agenda to be discussed, the proposals need to be submitted to the
``openstack/governance`` repository by (TBD).
.. _o-ff:
Feature freeze
--------------
The ocata-3 milestone marks feature freeze for projects following the
`release:cycle-with-milestones`_ model. No featureful patch should be landed
after this point. Exceptions may be granted by the project PTL.
.. _o-rf:
Requirements freeze
-------------------
After the ocata-3 milestone, only critical requirements and
constraints changes will be allowed. Freezing our requirements list
gives packagers downstream an opportunity to catch up and prepare
packages for everything necessary for distributions of the upcoming
release. The requirements remain frozen until the stable branches are
created, with the release candidates.
.. _o-final-clientlib:
Final release for client libraries
----------------------------------
Client libraries should issue their final release during this week, to match
feature freeze.
.. _o-soft-sf:
Soft StringFreeze
-----------------
You are no longer allowed to accept proposed changes containing modifications
in user-facing strings. Such changes should be rejected by the review team
and postponed until the next series development opens (which should happen
when RC1 is published).
.. _o-mf:
Membership Freeze
-----------------
Projects must participate in at least two milestones in order to be
considered part of the release. Projects made official after the
second milestone, or which fail to produce milestone releases for at
least one of the first and second milestones as well as the third
milestone, are therefore not considered part of the release for the
cycle.
.. _o-rc1:
RC1 target week
---------------
The week of 30 January - 3 February is the target date for projects
following the `release:cycle-with-milestones`_ model to issue their
first release candidate, with a deadline of 2 February.
.. _o-hard-sf:
Hard StringFreeze
-----------------
This happens when the RC1 for the project is tagged. At this point, ideally
no strings are changed (or added, or removed), to give translator time to
finish up their efforts.
.. _o-finalrc:
Final RCs and intermediary releases
-----------------------------------
The week of 13-17 February is the last week to issue release
candidates or intermediary releases before release week. During
release week, only final-release-critical releases will be accepted
(at the discretion of the release team).
.. _o-release:
Ocata release
--------------
The Ocata coordinated release will happen on 22 February.
.. _o-trailing:
Ocata cycle-trailing Deadline
-----------------------------
The deadline for projects using the release:cycle-trailing model that
follow the main release cycle is 9 March.
