ROADMAP & DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

OpenDaylight is committed to an open design and development process. The community operates around a time-based release cycle of roughly every six months with frequent development milestones. The naming convention for each OpenDaylight release follows the atomic number of elements in the periodic table, per the release calendar below.
