Welcome to the Cinder Antelope midcycle summary page!

We conduct 2 midcycles every 6 months (OpenStack release) that acts as a checkpoint for the following:

Revisiting/following up the topics discussed at PTG
Discuss topics that were missed during PTG due to author's unavailability or lack of time or any other reason
Status of work items based on the milestone

There could be more reasons but the above highlighted are the major ones.

For Antelope, the Midcycle will happen at:

We held our second mid cycle of the 2023.1 (Antelope) development Cycle on 18th January (R-9 week) between 1400-1600 UTC.

There were a lot of topics discussed but two important cinder policies to keep in mind for active/new contributors is as follows:

Do reviews to get reviews
- The idea was to promote opensource contribution in terms of reviews (and not just code commits)
- Contributors should actively review and also make their organization understand the importance of reviews in OpenStack contribution
- For starting out with your code review journey, here is a guide proposed to efficiently do reviews
  - https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/contributor/gerrit.html#efficient-review-guidelines

Avoid bare rechecks
- https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/contributor/gerrit.html#ci-job-rechecks
- Although not intentional, sometimes we skip the reason for rechecking which in general is not a good practice
- There is also a "bare recheck" thread that keeps track of number of bare rechecks per project, we should try to keep that minimal
