=== Future Development ===
 +
This high-traffic list for the developers of OpenStack to discuss development issues and roadmap. It is focused on the next release of OpenStack: you should post on this list if you are a contributor to OpenStack or are very familiar with OpenStack development and want to discuss very precise topics, contribution ideas and similar. Do not ask support requests on this list.

Note that this is a single development list for all OpenStack projects.  You can use Mailman Topics (on the [[http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev Subscribe]] page) to help with sorting and filtering messages.  Please read the [[http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-November/019103.html recent]] [[http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-December/021201.html threads]] to see why suggestions to split the list by projects might be met with strong resistance. You can use Topics to filter the list and have nearly the same effect if you only want to see messages for specific projects.
