Hi Ghada,

Updates as per the request below.

Release test plan defined - including test automation deliverables 
        - Action: Rob to review/confirm that this can be done by Oct 19. 

[Rob] Plan has been defined, this can be closed.

        - Rob, For your action:
        - please review the following test milestones in [1] - worksheet: Release Milestones 
                        - Feature Test Complete

Subject: Release planning - reviewing stx.8.0 milestone-2 offline

Hello all,
Since the bi-weekly starlingx release planning meeting was not held this week due to the PTG, I'd like to review the stx.8.0 milestone-2 criteria offline using the mailing list. The milestone is targeted for this week and I believe we are in good shape to declare it.

The criteria for the milestone are: 
- Feature plans defined and feature development well underway   
        - Based on the recent updates in [1] - worksheet: Release Candidates, it looks like feature leads have been updating feature dates. Thank you!
        - I'd like to ask each feature lead to have a final look and make any further updates by EOD Thursday Oct 20

- Release test plan defined - including test automation deliverables 
        - Action: Rob to review/confirm that this can be done by Oct 19.

Please note that feature proposals are come in at any time during the release cycle provided the feature dates fit within the overall release milestones, so declaring Milestone-2 doesn't impact new feature proposals.

Regards,
Ghada
