TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.28.0 Release Candidate (2.27.92)

Cześć,

Yeah, right, GNOME 2.27.92 is due next week, bla bla bla, you know the
drill. Now that we're done with that, I'm requesting your opinion for
something really important. I mean, it will affect really a lot of
people. While visiting friends this week, I was able to say hi to some
of their new fishes in their aquarium. And it turns out they have a new
fish. They called it Times. Or Sabre. Depending who you ask. However,
for me it's Wanda because it really looks like Wanda.  Not GNOME's
Wanda, but John Cleese's Wanda. But they don't think it's a good name
for the fish, so they reject what I think is the most appropriate name.
So what do you think? I'll be happy to hear from all of you!

And, hrm, please don't forget to work on critical bugs ;-) So if there
are some critical bugs that are annoying users, now is a good time to
fix them for 2.28.0!

Tarballs are due on Monday September 7th before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME
2.28.0 Release Candidate (2.27.92), which will be delivered on
Wednesday.

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 2.27.92. 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!

For more information about 2.27, the full schedule and the official
module lists, please see our colorful 2.27 page on the wiki:

bugzilla.gnome.org now redirects to SSL

	All accesses to bugzilla.gnome.org over normal HTTP are now redirected
to SSL (HTTPS). It has a valid, CA-signed certificate (by
StartCom--recognized by Firefox and Safari and will be recognized by IE
later this month).

	If you'd like to see some of the reasoning behind enforcing SSL (as
opposed to just making it optional), see here:

	https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544234#c13

	Anyhow, if you have scripts that interact with Bugzilla, they may not
be expecting this redirect, or may not work properly with SSL, so they
may have to be updated.

GNOME 2.28.0 Release Candidate (2.27.92) Released!

GNOME 2.28.0 Release Candidate (2.27.92)
========================================

We're a few days before the hard code freeze for 2.28.0, and having
tried 2.27.92, I think we have something good there. Actually, better
than just good. But well, we still have a few days to fix this pet bug
that annoys so many people -- I even heard that, in case you'd be a bit
late, some release team people can give +1 to freeze break requests if
you have the right arguments. And food is always a good argument. But I
can't tell who those people are. Or maybe I can, if you have the right
arguments...

To compile GNOME 2.27.92, you can use the jhbuild [3] modulesets [4]
(which use the exact tarball versions from the official release):

TARBALLS DUE (before Monday 23:59 UTC! don't forget translators!): GNOME 2.28.0 Final Release

Hi all,

The 2.28.0 stable release is just a few days ahead! Time to celebrate! No,
no, not yet! First, let's make sure we roll the final/stable/perfect
tarballs for
all our modules! After that, then, yes, we can all celebrate the result of our
hard work in the last 6 months! Yay!

Tarballs are due on 2009-09-21 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 2.28.0
newstable 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 2.28.0. 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!

Hard Code Freeze ends, but other freezes remain in effect for the
stable branch.

For more information about 2.27, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.27
page:

Thanks,

Celebrating the release of GNOME 2.28!

              ======================================
              Celebrating the release of GNOME 2.28!
              ======================================

Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.28, the
latest version of the popular, multi-platform free desktop environment
and of its developer platform. Released on schedule, to the day, GNOME
2.28 builds on top of a long series of successful six months releases to
offer the best experience to users and developers.

For more than 10 years now, the project has been seeing a tremendous
amount of work. And as usual, it's hard to come back to a previous
version of GNOME once you've tried GNOME 2.28, which is probably the
best compliment the project can receive.

This six months effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole
GNOME community, made of contributors from all around the world:
hackers, documentors, usability and accessibility specialists,
translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies, artists, users and
testers. GNOME would not exist without all those people. Thanks very
much to every one of them!

You'll find detailed information about GNOME 2.28 in our release notes:

   http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/

Most distributions have already started integrating GNOME 2.28 in their
development version, or as package updates to their stable version.

Some parties are already happening in various places to celebrate this
