If the article isn't posting correctly, please feel free to visit it directly at https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2019/10/cycle-trailing-projects-and-rdos-latest-release-train/ --- The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Train for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Train is the 20th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1115 contributors <https://www.stackalytics.com/?metric=commits> from around the world. The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/openstack-train/. BUT! *This is not the official announcement you’re looking for.* We’re doing something a little different this cycle – we’re waiting for some of the “cycle-trailing” <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-trailing> projects that we’re particularly keen about, like TripleO <https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-docs/latest/developer/release.html> and Kolla <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla/latest/contributor/release-management.html>, to finish their push BEFORE we make the official announcement. Photo by Denis Chick on Unsplash Deployment and lifecycle-management tools generally want to follow the release cycle, but because they rely on the other projects being completed, they may not always publish their final release at the same time as those projects. To that effect, they may choose the cycle-trailing release model <https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#trailing-the-common-cycle> . Cycle-trailing projects are given an extra three months after the final release date to request publication of their release. They may otherwise use intermediary releases or development milestones. While we’re super hopeful that these cycle trailing projects will be uploaded to the CentOS mirror before OpenInfrastructure Summit Shanghai <https://www.openstack.org/summit/shanghai-2019>, we’re going to do the official announcement just before the Summit with or without the packages. We’ve got a lot of people to thank! Do you like that we’re waiting a bit for our cycle trailing projects or would you prefer the official announcement as soon as the main projects are available? Let us know in the comments and we may adjust the process for future releases! In the meantime, keep an eye here or on the mailing lists <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo> for the official announcement COMING SOON! -- K Rain Leander OpenStack Community Liaison Open Source Program Office https://www.rdoproject.org/ http://community.redhat.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
