Stein Goals Research¶
Pre-cycle planning and investigation into the community-wide goals for Stein.
Stein Project Team Gathering (PTG)¶
Project team gathering for the Stein cycle 10 - 14 September in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Stein-1 milestone¶
25 October 2018 is the Stein-1 milestone.
Stein Community Goals Acknowledgement¶
Teams should prepare their acknowledgement of the community-wide goals for Stein.
OpenStack Summit¶
The OpenStack Summit happens during this week in Berlin, Germany. It will include a “Forum” in which people from all parts of our community will gather to give feedback on the last release (Rocky) and discuss requirements for the next development cycle (Stein).
Stein-2 milestone¶
10 January 2019 is the Stein-2 milestone.
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.
Stein-3 milestone¶
7 March 2019 is the Stein-3 milestone.
Stein Community Goals Completed¶
Teams should prepare their documentation for completing the community-wide goals for Stein.
Feature freeze¶
The Stein-3 milestone marks feature freeze for projects following the release:cycle-with-rc model. No featureful patch should be landed after this point. Exceptions may be granted by the project PTL.
Requirements freeze¶
After the Stein-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.
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).
Membership Freeze¶
Projects made official after the second milestone, are not considered part of the release for the cycle. This does not apply to cycle-trailing packaging / lifecycle management projects.
RC1 target week¶
This week is the target for projects following the release:cycle-with-rc model to issue their first release candidate, with a deadline of 21 March 2019.
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 1 April 2019 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).
Cycle highlights marketing deadline¶
Cycle highlights need to be added to the release deliverables by this point to be included in any marketing release messaging. Highlights may be added after this point, but they will likely only be useful for historical purposes.
See the project team guide for more details and instructions on adding these highlights.
Stein release¶
The Stein coordinated release will happen on 10 April 2019.
Stein cycle-trailing release deadline¶
The release deadline for projects using the release:cycle-trailing model that follow the main release cycle is set to 11 July, 2019.
