- The current release is well underway. We’re coming up on the shared libraries release window and milestone 3 is just around the corner- August 29th! Once we are past that, most OpenStack services will have their feature and requirement freezes, and we will also be collecting release highlights for Zed.

- The OpenStack Technical committee has noted its first ‘Emerging Technology’ project- Skyline. This new notation has been created to allow new projects to join the OpenStack family while recognizing there may still be work required to bring it fully in line with other projects and for it to be run in production. While Skyline joined OpenStack last release, this new definition will help support up and coming projects while giving users the information they need about the status of a new project.

- Nodepool 6.2.0 brings an image-status view showing which images are paused or active, statistics tracking for image build requests, and improved quota handling for the AWS, Azure and IBMVPC drivers.
- The recently approved Tracing specification describes upcoming introduction of OpenTelemetry support to Zuul’s service fleet, offering administrators a clearer picture of the timing and relationship between the various events which go into queue handling and scheduling of workloads system-wide.
