So, Welcome to the tarballs due announcement for the GNOME 2.5.1 Development Release. First things first, let's get the institutionalised police-style brutality out of the way. You may think of this as the vicious, unabating release team motivational exercise from hell: THIS IS NOT NAM. THIS IS BOWLING. THERE ARE RULES. They didn't teach you this in management school now, did they? DID THEY? Here ends the reading... IT'S TIME TO ROCK. Tarballs are due this coming Monday, 8th December. Maintainers of proposed modules are strongly encouraged to make tarball releases. This is all about testing, testing, testing, and if your module hasn't had adequate testing before the freeze deadline (2004-01-12), the release team will have to nix it from the proposed modules list... You gotta be on the release train! Now for the summary: 2.5.1 TARBALLS DUE MONDAY, 8TH DECEMBER PROPOSED MODULES TOO OR WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN Here's a pretty calendar to scare your pants off: December 2003 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8) 9(10)11 12 13 2.5.1, API/ABI Freeze 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28(29)30(31) 2.5.2 tarballs due and released January 2004 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11(12)13(14)15 16 17 2.5.3, Feature, Module and UI Freeze 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25(26)27(28)29 30 31 2.5.4 tarballs due and released February 2004 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (9)10(11)12 13 14 Beta 1, String and Hard UI Freeze 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22(23)24(25)26 27 28 Beta 2, HARD CODE FREEZE 29 March 2004 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa (1) 2 (3) 4 5 6 Release Candidate tarballs due and released 7 (8) 9(10)11 12 13 GNOME 2.6.0 FINAL 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Thanks, - Jeff -- Come to gnome.conf.au 2004! http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/2004/gnome.conf.au/ "So please lets focus on preparing to beat up our neighbours instead of spending all the energy on domestic violence." - Christian Schaller on GNOME
