- From TSC / Community Call on July 6
      - Agreed that getting stx-openstack running on stx.7.0 is a release blocker
      - Plans in place to address the identified issues and re-enable stx-openstack
      - Two key fixes required which are forecast for ~July 12
          - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1978409 - merged July 12
          - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1980397 - still open
              - Some WIP reviews posted. Need an update from the openstack team; expected in the community call
- Upcoming Milestones - Revised
      - Based on discussion in Community Call on July 13
          - RC1 (Branch Creation): week of July 4 >> week of July 18 (based on above sanity plans)
          - Final Regression: week of July 18 >> week of July 25
          - Release: week of July 25 >> week of Aug 1
- Branch Creation
      - Option 1: Go ahead and branch the r/stx.7.0 branch - suggested by Frank
          - PRO: Avoid pollution from content unrelated to stx.7.0 (ex: prep for stx.8.0 features / Debian / etc)
          - CON: If we branch w/o a sanity, we don't have a known state of the load
      - Option 2: Institute a freeze on the stx main branch - suggested by Ildiko
          - PRO: Nothing goes in, so no pollution from unrelated content
          - CON: Impact to more community members who are already looking at stx.8.0 or bugs
      - Decision
          - Agreed a sanity w/o stx-openstack is sufficient for branch creation as the required stx-openstack changes are understood and in progress.
          - If it's not red, we can proceed with branch creation next week as per the plan discussed last week.
- Bug status
      - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bugs?field.tag=stx.7.0
