The Capri release will get underway shortly, but it’s a perfect time of the year to take a break and look back at all that was done over the last year.

On to Capri
We are working on finalizing the Capri development cycle schedule now. Expect that to show up on releases.opensds.io very soon!
We have a lot of really good plans for Capri shaping up and are excited to see where things go from here.
