Following the tradition of our previous Project Teams Gathering (PTG) summaries, the April 2026 PTG brought together over 35 teams and hundreds of contributors, operators, and open-source enthusiasts for a week of virtual collaboration. On the OpenStack side, the community was coming off the launch of the 2026.1 “Gazpacho” release of OpenStack and spent the week diving straight into the 2026.2 “Hibiscus” cycle.
Planting the Seeds for “Hibiscus”

Until Next Time!
Every PTG reminds me why this community works: the Four Opens. Whether we were debating technical specs, or troubleshooting niche use cases, the focus is on open collaboration and our global community working together to make open software.
If you couldn’t make it a session, I highly recommend checking out the team etherpads. These etherpads are full of the details that made this PTG a success.
The next PTG will be taking place after the “Hibiscus” release, October 12-16! Keep an eye on the website for registration details and team sign ups!
