TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.29.5 Development Release (also: String and UI change announcement)

Hello all,

(Sorry for the delay in sending this email)

Tarballs are due on *today*, Monday January 11th, before 23:59 UTC
for the GNOME 2.29.5 Development Release, 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 2.29.5. 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!

We'd like also to remind you we are entering in :
* String Change Announcement Period : After the GNOME 2.29.5 release, 
string changes must be announced to gnome-doc-list and gnome-i18n.

* UI Change Announcement Period : After the GNOME 2.29.5 release, UI 
changes must be announced to gnome-doc-list.

For more informations about 2.29, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful
2.29 page on the wiki:

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is buildable and usable, it is primarily
intended for testing and hacking purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development
status.

list, please see our 2.29 page:

API/ABI Freeze for 2.29 starting Monday January 18th, 23:59 UTC

Hi,

very soon API/ABI Freeze for GNOME 2.29 will start. After this, no API
or ABI changes should be made in the platform libraries. For instance,
no new functions, no changed function signatures or struct fields.  This
provides a stable development platform for the rest of the schedule.
There should usually be a "Slushy" API/ABI Freeze before the Hard
API/ABI Freeze, to encourage developers to think about API problems
while they have a chance to correct them.  API freeze is not required
for non-platform libraries, but is recommended.

For more information about 2.29, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.29
page:
   http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable

For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see:

Thanks,
the Release Team

TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.29.6 development release (and feature freeze!)

Hello all,

This is 2.29.6 time next week, and this is not just your standard
email asking for tarballs, as we also inform you that this milestone
marks the beginning of the feature freeze.

This is a good time to start summarizing what has changed in your
modules in this cycle, so that people can work on the release notes! See
  http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/ReleaseNotes

Tarballs are due on 2010-01-25 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 2.29.6
unstable 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 2.29.6. 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 2.29, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 2.29
page:
