Following discussion in the weekly Horizon meetings [1][2], we will feature freeze a week earlier this cycle. This will give plugins who intended to sync release some time to merge conflicting or dependent features. 1. http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/horizondrivers/2016/horizondrivers.2016-05-04-20.01.html 2. http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/horizon/2016/horizon.2016-05-04-08.00.html Change-Id: I8777c809655a163a4a18e4a859deb2c4095674f6

Note
All deadlines are generally the Thursday of the week on which they are noted above. For example, The Feature Freeze in week R-5 is on 8 September. Exceptions to this policy will be explicitly mentioned in the event description.
Cross-project events
Newton Design Summit
newton-1 milestone
May 31 - June 2 is the newton-1 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.
newton-2 milestone
July 12-14 is the newton-2 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.
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.
newton-3 milestone
August 30 - Sept 1 is the newton-3 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.
Feature freeze
The newton-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.
Final release for client libraries
Client libraries should issue their final release during this week, to match feature freeze.
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).
RC1 target week
The week of September 12 is the target date for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model to issue their first release candidate.
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.
Final RCs and intermediary releases
The week of September 26 is the last week to issue release candidates or intermediary releases before release week. On release week only final-release-critical releases will be accepted (at the discretion of the release team).
Newton release
The Newton coordinated release will happen on October 6th, 2016.
Newton cycle-trailing Deadline
The deadline for projects using the release:cycle-trailing model that follow the main release cycle.
Project-specific events
Elections
Ocata cycle PTLs self-nomination
Project team lead candidates for the Ocata cycle should announce their candidacy during this week.
Ocata cycle PTLs election
Election week for Project team leads (where an election must be held to determine the winner).
TC member self-nomination
Candidates for the partial Technical Committee member renewal should announce their candidacy during this week.
TC member election
Election for partially renewing Technical Committee members will happen during this week.
Cinder
Cinder New Backend Driver Deadline
The deadline for getting a new backend driver added to Cinder is 12th July, 2016. All review issues must be addressed and third party CI must be reporting and stable with enough time for reviewers prior to the deadline. Meeting these requirements on the 12th does not guarantee core reviewers will have enough time to merge the driver.
Cinder Spec Freeze
All Cinder specs must be approved by 12th July, 2016.
Cinder Feature Freeze
The deadline for new features and driver functionality is 31 August, 2016. Any changes past that date will be at the discretion of the core team.
Nova
For reference, these are the Nova review priorities for Newton.
Nova non-priority spec approval freeze
All non-priority Nova specs must be approved by June 2nd, 2016.
Nova non-priority feature freeze
The deadline for non-priority features is June 30th, 2016. There may be a round of feature freeze exceptions but that will be at the discretion of the Nova core team.
Nova priority spec approval freeze
All priority Nova specs must be approved by August 4th, 2016. This is intentionally after the Nova midcycle meetup for Newton so there is some time for last minute adjustments to priority features.
Trove
The deadlines below are specific to the Trove project.
Trove Spec Proposal Deadline
Submit all Trove specs for the Newton release by the end of this week (for review) in trove-specs repository.
Trove Spec Freeze
All Trove specs for the Newton release must be approved by the end of this week.
Trove Guest Requirements Freeze:
Freeze the requirements for all guest agents by this date and make the newton requirements file for guests.
Trove Client Soft Freeze
All major features for the python-troveclient must be reviewed and approved by the end of this week, this gives us one additional week to address any issues with dependencies.
Trove Feature Freeze
All major Trove features and projects for Newton must be approved by the end of this week.
This is the deadline for the Trove server, the python-troveclient and all trove-dashboard changes.
Horizon
The deadlines below are specific to the Horizon project.
Horizon Feature Freeze
The deadline for Horizon features for Newton. This is a week earlier than the standard milestone to allow plugins time to sync before the standard release.
