+New Feature Planning
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+New features are discussed via IRC or mailing list (with [kolla] prefix).
+Kayobe project keeps RFEs in `Storyboard
+<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/kayobe>`__.  Specs are
+welcome but not strictly required.
+
+Task Tracking
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Kolla project tracks tasks in `Storyboard
+<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/kayobe>`__.  Note this
+is the same place as for bugs.
+
+A more lightweight task tracking is done via etherpad - `Whiteboard
+<https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/KollaWhiteBoard>`__.
+
+Reporting a Bug
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so
+on `Storyboard <https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/kayobe>`__.
+Note this is the same place as for tasks.
+
+Getting Your Patch Merged
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Most changes proposed to Kayobe require two +2 votes from core reviewers
+before +W. A release note is required on most changes as well. Release notes
+policy is described in :ref:`its own section <release-notes>`.
+
+Significant changes should have documentation and testing provided with them.
+
+Project Team Lead Duties
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All common PTL duties are enumerated in the `PTL guide <https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ptl.html>`_.
+Release tasks are described in the :doc:`Kayobe releases guide <../development/releases>`.

+
+=============
+Release notes
+=============
+
+Kayobe (just like Kolla) uses the following release notes sections:
+
+- ``features`` --- for new features or functionality; these should ideally
+  refer to the blueprint being implemented;
+- ``fixes`` --- for fixes closing bugs; these must refer to the bug being
+  closed;
+- ``upgrade`` --- for notes relevant when upgrading from previous version;
+  these should ideally be added only between major versions; required when
+  the proposed change affects behaviour in a non-backwards compatible way or
+  generally changes something impactful;
+- ``deprecations`` --- to track deprecated features; relevant changes may
+  consist of only the commit message and the release note;
+- ``prelude`` --- filled in by the PTL before each release or RC.
+
+Other release note types may be applied per common sense.
+Each change should include a release note unless being a ``TrivialFix``
+change or affecting only docs or CI. Such changes should `not` include
+a release note to avoid confusion.
+Remember release notes are mostly for end users which, in case of Kolla,
+are OpenStack administrators/operators.
+In case of doubt, the core team will let you know what is required.
+
+To add a release note, run the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   tox -e venv -- reno new <summary-line-with-dashes>
+
+All release notes can be inspected by browsing ``releasenotes/notes``
+directory.
+
+To generate release notes in HTML format in ``releasenotes/build``, run:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   tox -e releasenotes
+
+Note this requires the release note to be tracked by ``git`` so you
+have to at least add it to the ``git``'s staging area.
