In the last week we continued to work on bug fixing and improvements related to Nephron and flows, Minion, packaging and configuration, and the web UI.
Also, this is your reminder that The OpenNMS Group shuts down offices from Christmas Eve through the new year. A number of us will probably stay randomly active on chat, but you won't see a new OOH until January.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, or something else, or nothing at all, I hope you have a good holiday season and I'll see you on the other side of 2020!

Release Roadmap
January Releases
The next OpenNMS release day is January 5th, 2020.
The current expectation is that there will be a Horizon 27.0.3 release with bug fixes.
Next Horizon: 28 (Q1 2021)
The next major Horizon release will be Horizon 28.
We're still early in the development cycle for it, but at a high level it is expected to contained our finished work moving OpenBMP's functionality into OpenNMS, as well as enhancements to handle ToS/QoS in flows.
Next Meridian: 2021 (Q2 2021)
With the recent release of Meridian 2020, plans are still tentative.
However, the current plan is that Meridian 2021 will be based on Horizon 28.
We'll know more once development plans start to firm up.
