Cross-project events

Mitaka Design Summit

Planning in Tokyo ! And Okonomiyaki.

mitaka-1 milestone

Dec 1-3 is the mitaka-1 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.

mitaka-2 milestone

Jan 19-21 is the mitaka-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.

mitaka-3 milestone

March 1-3 is the mitaka-3 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.

Feature freeze

The mitaka-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 March 14-18 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 March 28 to April 1st 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).

Mitaka release

The Mitaka coordinated release will happen on April 7th.

Project-specific events

Elections

N cycle PTLs self-nomination

Project team lead candidates for the N cycle should announce their candidacy during this week.

N 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.

Nova

Nova Blueprint Freeze

The deadline for getting a Nova blueprint approved for Mitaka is 3rd December 2015. Please note this is also the deadline to get any Mitaka nova-specs merged.

Nova Non-Priority Feature Freeze

A non-priority feature is any feature that is not associated with one of the Mitaka priorities: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/priorities/mitaka-priorities.html

The deadline for non-priority feature code to be merged into master is 21st January 2015.

Please note, the Feature Freeze for priority features is aligned with m-ff.

Cinder

Cinder New Backend Driver Deadline

The deadline for getting a new backend driver added to Cinder is 19th January 2015. 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 19th does not guarantee core reviewers will have enough time to merge the driver.

Cinder Spec/Blueprint Freeze

All Cinder specs and blueprints must be approved by 19th January 2015.

Cinder Feature Freeze

The deadline for new features and driver functionality is 1st March 2016. Any changes past that date will be at the discretion of the core team.
