CinderCaracalMidCycleSummary
Introduction
Welcome to the Cinder 2024.1 (Caracal) midcycle summary page!
We conduct 2 midcycles between the OpenStack development cycle (6 months) 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 2024.2 (Caracal), the Midcycle will happen at:
- R-17: 6th December, 2023 (Wednesday) 1400-1600 UTC
- R-7: 14th February, 2023 (Wednesday) 1400-1600 UTC
