New module decisions for 2.26

Hi,

The release team met on Sunday to talk about the latest movies, the
forthcoming Australian Open, etc. but also to make fun of Andreas N. (we
won't reveal his last last name publicly -- but he's swedish and draws
various things). Hopefully, Andreas N. didn't notice that and he will
continue to be helpful :-) Oh, we also discussed the new modules
proposals and came to the following result.

Many thanks to the people who contributed to the discussion on the list,
and to the authors and maintainers of the proposed modules!

Short summary
=============

In:
  brasero (desktop suite)
  evolution-mapi (desktop suite)
  gnome-user-share (desktop suite)
  DeviceKit-power (external dependency)

GNOME 2.25.5 released!

GNOME 2.25.5 Development Release
================================

This is the fifth development release towards our 2.26 release that will
happen in March 2009. By now, development is well under way, and we've
already made good progress on some of the goals that we've set ourselves
for 2.26 (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals). Keep up the good work!

To compile GNOME 2.25.5, you can use GARNOME [1] (which supports users
and has additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild [2]
modulesets [3] (which use the exact tarball versions from the official
release):

 [2] http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/
 [3] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.25.5/

are available. Go read them to learn all the goodness of this release:

TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.25.90 beta + UI is frozen

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.

For more information about 2.25, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.25
page:
