[openstack-dev] [release] Release countdown for week R-16, May 7-11

[Sean McGinnis]

Just what you've been waiting for, our regular release countdown email.

Development Focus
-----------------

With Rocky-1 passed, teams should be focusing on feature development and
release goals.

The Forum [1] schedule [2] is set and hopefully teams are preparing for some
good discussions in Vancouver. This is a great opportunity for getting feedback
on existing and planned features and bringing that feedback to the teams.

General Information
-------------------

We have cycle-with-intermediary projects without a release yet. Please take a
look and see if these are ready to do a release for this cycle yet. It's best
to "release early, release often".

Some of these have significant changes merged, while some may just have things
like requirements updates or zuul job changes. Please take a look at what has
merged since the last release and see if it would be a good time to do another
release.

Also make sure to do regular stable releases, assuming there are bugfixes ready
to be made available.
