DESCRIPTION:Extra-AC freeze\n\nAll contributions to OpenStack are valuable
 \, but some are not expressed as Gerrit code changes. That allow teams to 
 list active contributors to their projects and who do not have a code cont
 ribution this cycle\, and therefore won’t automatically be considered an
  Active Contributor and allowed to vote. This is done by adding extra-acs 
 to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/pr
 ojects.yaml before the Extra-AC freeze date.\n\n\n\n2027.1 Election Nomina
 tion Open\n\nCandidates interested in serving for the next calendar year (
 TC)\, or development cycle (PTL) should announce their candidacies and pla
 tforms during this week.  Please see the Election site for specific timing
  information.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Hibiscus-3 milestone\n\nAugust 27\, 2026 is the Hibiscus-3 mil
 estone. See project-specific notes for relevant deadlines.\n\n\n\nFeature 
 freeze\n\nThe Hibiscus-3 milestone marks feature freeze for projects follo
 wing the release:cycle-with-rc model. No featureful patch should be landed
  after this point. Exceptions may be granted by the project PTL.\n\n\n\n\n
 \nFinal release for client libraries\n\nClient libraries should issue thei
 r final release during this week\, to match feature freeze.\n\n\n\nSoft St

 by the review team and postponed until the next series development opens (
 which should happen when RC1 is published).\n\n\n\nRequirements freeze\n\n
 After the Hibiscus-3 milestone\, only critical requirements and constraint
 s changes will be allowed. Freezing our requirements list gives packagers 
 downstream an opportunity to catch up and prepare packages for everything 
 necessary for distributions of the upcoming release. The requirements rema
 in frozen until the stable branches are created\, with the release candida
 tes.\n\n\n\n2027.1 Election Email Deadline\n\nContributors that will be in
  the electorate for the upcoming election should confirm their gerrit emai
 l addresses by this date (August 19th\, 2026 at 00:00 UTC). Electorate rol
 ls are generated after this date and ballots will be sent to the listed ge
 rrit email address.\n\n\n\n2027.1 Election Campaigning Open\n\nThe elector
 ate has time to ask candidates questions about their platforms and debate 
 topics before polling begins.  Please see the Election site for specific t
