TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.29.92 rc

Hello all,

We are approching the finish line!

Tarballs are due on *Monday* 2010-03-08 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME
2.29.92 RC 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 2.29.92.

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 2.29, 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:

Cheers,
        Frederic

Google Summer of Code 2010 Call for Ideas

Hiya GNOME lovers!

It's that time of the year again: Google's Summer of Code is
approaching. We are in the midst of preparing it all [1] but we need
your help by submitting great project ideas. Student proposals will
start to roll in on March 29, but we'd like to make sure there are
plenty of projects from them to choose from and have mentors ready to
volunteer their time.

So what should you do? Please visit [2] and enter your project ideas
under the "New Untriaged Ideas" section.  A committee will be formed up
later to triage the ideas prior to the opening of the proposal period.

If you would like to volunteer your time to mentor but don't have a
project idea, surf over and claim one.  Mentoring is an awesome way to
get more involved with the community and introduce someone to it.

If you would like to throw your hat in the ring for the triaging or
selection committees and other GSoC related tasks, pop on over to
#soc-admin, join the soc-mentors-list and let one of the
administrators for the program know you want to be involved in making
GNOME rock.

This year's administrators are Ruben Vermeersch, Christophe Fergeau and
Daniel Siegel (and Sandy Armstrong, for as long as his time doesn't get
stolen by the upcoming kid :-))

Cheers,
   The GNOME Google Summer of Code Administrators

GNOME 2.30 release candidate (2.29.92) released!

GNOME 2.29.92 Release Candidate
================================

Spring is almost there, as well as GNOME 2.30. And since we want it to
be our best release ever, we are happy to give you a release candidate
of 2.30 : GNOME 2.29.92. Your mission is easy: Go download it. Go
compile it. Go test it. And report bugs ;)

We remind you we are string frozen, no string changes may be made
without confirmation from the l10n team (gnome-i18n <at> ) and
notification to both the release team and the GNOME Documentation
Project (gnome-doc-list <at> ). The other freezes are of course still in
place, details on http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes .

Hard code freeze is approaching too (March 15 2010) : no source code
changes can be made without approval from the release-team.
Translation and documentation can continue.

To compile GNOME 2.29.92, you can the jhbuild [1] modulesets [2]
(which use the exact tarball versions from the official release):

 [1] http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/
 [2] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.29.92/

The release notes that describe the changes between 2.29.91 and
2.29.92 are available. Go read them to learn all the goodness of this
release:

Am Dienstag, den 23.02.2010, 22:16 +0100 schrieb Andre Klapper:
> a draft for the GNOME 2.31/3.0 schedule is now available

No feedback which means that the schedule for 2.31/3.0 at

       http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/

is FINAL now.

(However with regard to the uncertainties still left, future adjustments
might be required in the worst case.)

TARBALLS DUE (before Monday 23:59 UTC!, don't forget translators!): GNOME 2.30.0 Final Release

Hi all,

While translators and the documentation team are busy pushing fixes
until the very last minute, a lot of coders are enjoying some quiet
days. Ah, the hard code freeze is a good excuse to procrastinate. Sure,
not everybody manages to procrastinate successfully: some people are
still working hard on fixing those last major bugs that are annoying.
Aren't they crazy? Fixing major bugs, what an idea... And they request
freeze breaks to the release team, which makes it harder for release
team members to procrastinate. Oh, by the way, let me remind here that
you can bribe the release team to get your fix in. Just think about what
would please some of us, that's easy ;-)

We are all enjoying those quiet times. But soon, procrastination time
will be over: 2.30.0 is due next week, and this also marks the beginning
of the next development cycle! To get used to typing text in your
favorite editor again, a good first step is to release your tarball for
2.30.0 in time. Even if you didn't change anything since the last
release, there will likely be new and updated translations that we want
to distribute to our users, so please do not forget to roll your
tarball!

Tarballs are due on Monday March 29th before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME
2.30.0 Final 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 2.30.0. If you are not able to make a tarball before Monday 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!

Celebrating the release of GNOME 2.30!

              ======================================
              Celebrating the release of GNOME 2.30!
              ======================================

Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.30, the
latest version of the popular, multi-platform free desktop environment
and of its developer platform. Released on schedule, to the day, GNOME
2.30 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 this latest release, which is
probably the best compliment the project can receive.

GNOME 2.30 also marks the last major release in the GNOME 2.x era. There
will be maintenance releases for 2.30, but the community now focuses its
efforts on GNOME 3.0!

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 2.30 in our release notes:
