[Lin, Shuicheng]

It seems just rpm package is released, but srpm is not released yet.
I will keep check it recently.

Yup, timing is!

Cindy, can you please put this on the agenda for the next non-openstack Distro meeting.

We also have a topic for the TSC (thanks BruceJ) the following morning, TSC members may want to start weighing in here regarding my initial proposal below, which we can talk more about on Thursday.


Thanks
    Sau!
