TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.25.90 beta + UI is frozen

[Frederic Peters <fpeters gnome org>]

Hello all!

Tarballs are due on 2009-02-02 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 2.25.90
beta release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were
proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so
everyone can test them.  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 2.25.90. 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!

Also we enter UI freeze on February 2nd, no UI changes may be made at
all without confirmation from the release team and notification to the
documentation team (gnome-doc-list@).  And don't forget we have been in
the String Change Announcement Period for two weeks already, all string
changes must be announced to translation and documentation teams
(gnome-i18n@ and gnome-doc-list@).

This will be the first beta release, and it will be used to start
writing the release notes, those are important, they help the press
people make nice and correct articles about the great changes done
during this cycle, so have a look at http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap and
make sure your module roadmap page on live.gnome.org is up to date.

module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.25
