2017.01.27 Roadmap Logistics Sub-team Meeting

 https://openstack.org/assets/uploads/summit-ptg-timeline-revised.png

In New Community schedule/workflow there is an explicit time for gathering developments before the release begins now.

What's the difference between the "Forum", "Summit", "Conference"

The "Forum" is a track within the overall Summit. At the Forum, OpenStack users and developers will gather to brainstorm the requirements for the next release, gather feedback on the past version and have strategic discussions that go beyond just one release cycle. Development teams, working groups and interested individuals will discuss release requirements, connect with community members about cross-project collaboration, and to exchange feedback between design and operations members.

How the old Design Summit has evolved: http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/evolving-openstack-design-summit/

• Dark blue time to figure out requirements (market and ecosystem development, e.g. python versions, tool changes, opensource ecosystem partner changes etc. in 1 to 2 releases)
• Middle blue - development cycle
• Light blue -  time between openstack release and product come to market from vendors
• Release logo and summit in names and dotted lines are PTG

• Summits  - 3 things - main stream content (keynotes and tracks), design summit, and ops summit (each had  own  calendars & hard to find things)

• Looking at summit, forum and informal (hope  to have teams eliminate mid-cycles at summit, want to use PTGs to center that work)
  
  

• Forum in Boston would be Queens requirements gathering.
• Could  have cross design sessions at PTG. 

• A lot of pre-work to increase probability to get high priority features implemented at time you want.  Intersecting timing if prep work is very challenging.
