TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.21.1 Development Release

[Vincent Untz <vincent vuntz net>]

Hi everybody,

It's been nearly three months since the 2.19/2.20 feature freeze. People
who are used to living on the edge are feeling abandoned and can hardly
sleep at night: they're missing the new features that come daily in
unstable GNOME releases. You know what this feeling is: seeing how a new
stable release is slowly being built, feeling the power just under your
fingers, being the king of the world. But the time has come: everybody
is starting to rejoice because a new development cycle has started and
the first unstable release is due next week. And if you don't believe
that some of our users are living like this, imagine what's happening in
the head of Frédéric C., a GNOME packager who's getting bored because of
the lack of new releases. Please help him feel better.

Tarballs are due on Monday October 29th before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME
2.21.1 Development Release, which will be delivered on Wednesday.
Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the 2.21
schedule so everyone can test them.

Also note that Monday October 29th at 23:59 UTC also marks the deadline
for new (app) modules proposal. For directions on proposing your module,
please see:

Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59
UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get
in 2.21.1. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or
if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and
we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you!

module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.21
