Synchronising release process dates with distro conferences?

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi,

As everyone has noticed, there have been a few proposals for inclusion
of functionality from Canonical people this week (Deja Dup, LightDM) -
not coincidentally, UDS was this week.

Would it make sense to align dates with major distribution conferences
(or work with distros to do the inverse) in the future? FUDCon, DebConf
& UDS come to mind as the major ones. I know, for example, that
Canonical people find out whether they'll be spending time on a project
in the run up to the next release during UDS, so submitting modules
afterwards is natural in their release cycle.

Cheers,
Dave.
