+<h1>GNOME 3.0 Rescheduled for March 2011 Release</h1>
+
+<p>
+The Hague, July 28, 2010 â?? The GNOME Release Team met at GUADEC on Monday, July
+26 and discussed the state of readiness for GNOME 3.0. During these discussions
+the Release Team decided that GNOME 3.0 needed another release cycle to mature
+and have pushed back the GNOME 3.0 release to March 2011.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+GNOME releases every six months to provide a reliable platform for its
+community and downstream partners. While it might be possible to
+release GNOME 3.0 in 2010 by slipping the schedule by a month or two,
+it makes more sense to stick to GNOME's release schedule and ensure
+that GNOME 3.0 lives up to the quality that our community expects.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME Project will ship GNOME 2.32 in September, along with a
+preview release of GNOME 3.0. Several of the distributions will ship
+GNOME 3.0 components that can be used for user previews or developer
+testing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+GNOME is driven by its goals to provide a quality free software
+desktop, and we feel that our users and downstream community are
+better served by holding the GNOME 3.0 release until March 2011. This
+gives adequate time not only for feature development, but user
+feedback and testing.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The extra time will be used to improve performance for GNOME
+Accessibility support, GNOME Shell, and documentation for GNOME 3.0.
+GNOME 2.32 will still have a number of interesting new features such as
+color management and UPnP support as well as the usual performance enhancements
+and bug fixes that have marked GNOME's timed releases for years.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Stay tuned to the GNOME.org Web site and announcements from the GNOME
+Project about the status of GNOME 3.0 and what's coming in 2011.
