 one. See project-specific notes for relevant deadlines.\n\n\n\nMembership 
 Freeze\n\nProjects must participate in at least two milestones in order to

UID:Hibiscus-R-7
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

UID:Hibiscus-R-6
DESCRIPTION:Final release for non-client libraries\n\nLibraries that are n
 ot client libraries (Oslo and others) should issue their final release dur
 ing this week. That allows to give time for last-minute changes before fea
 ture freeze.\n\n

DTSTART:20260824
DTEND:20260829
DTSTAMP:20260326T131515Z
UID:Hibiscus-R-5
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
 ringFreeze\n\nYou are no longer allowed to accept proposed changes contain
 ing modifications in user-facing strings. Such changes should be rejected 
 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

UID:Hibiscus-R-4
DESCRIPTION:Cycle Highlights\n\nCycle highlights need to be added to the r
 elease deliverables after the feature freeze to be included in any marketi
 ng release messaging. Highlights may be added after this point\, but they 
 will likely only be useful for historical purposes.\n\nSee the Project Tea
 m Guide for more details and instructions on adding these highlights.\n\nF
 or examples of previous release highlights: 2025.1 Epoxy Highlights. 2025.
