TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.14.0 Beta 1 (2.13.91) Development Release

["Vincent Untz" <vuntz gnome org>]

Hi all,

So, we're having a lots of release and it's easy to get lost between
all of them. Where are we now? Let's look at it:

  + Pants: off, since the first time we met Jeff
  + New features: err, you're kidding, right? Or maybe branching?
  + Sockets: is it worrying to think about network protocols?
  + UI fixes: wow, you're late. But the release team might help you.
  + Hat: some people have a red one. I prefer the blue one.
  + String fixes: still a few days left, go go go!
  + T-shirt: it seems you can buy one thanks to GNOME Hispano
  + Bug fixes: still a few weeks left. You don't want your module to be
    so visible in bugzilla, do you?
  + Love: we're the love!

Now, some of you might be wondering what's this list of non-sense items.
Isn't it pretty clear? We're nearing the end of the 2.14 release cycle,
with our second beta which will be out next week! A good love gift for
the Valentine's Day. Isn't it romantic? (No, you don't have to send me
an answer to this question ;-))

Tarballs are due on Monday (February 13th) for the GNOME 2.14.0 Beta 2
(2.13.91) Development Release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. If
for some reason you are not able to make a tarball before Monday,
please send a mail to the release team: we can find someone to roll
the tarball for you!

With this release, we enter the string freeze: this means that no
string changes may be made without approval from the translators,
and notification to both the release-team and the GDP.

Please note that we now use a hard deadline for tarballs: tarballs
uploaded after Monday 23:59 UTC will not be included in 2.13.91. Ask
around you: it already happened to some modules, so we're *really*
not including late releases!

For more informations about 2.13, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our shiny 2.13

To help write good release notes, please add major user-visible changes
happening during the 2.13 release cycle to this wiki page:

Thanks,

Vincent
