QUARTER REPORT FINAL

April 1 - June 30 July August
July 1 - September 30 October November
October 1 - December 31 January February
The fact that it is by calendar quarters is an arbitrary choice. I
tended to go by quarters for simplicity (so the October report would
describe the situation for Q3: July, August, September). Jan probably
usually sent a report that was more up-to-date, i.e., reflecting recent
events too.
The difference is only 10-15 days, but those days can be eventful ones.
For example, if the October report describes Q3 only, it would have to
state that a release candidate for OpenOffice 4.1.2 is not available,
since we had it on 2 October. But since it is important news, it can
probably fit in the October report too.
There are no precise rules, as far as I know, about the precise period a
report should cover: the Chair is expected to describe the "latest
quarter", and this does not need to be clarified further.

Andrea.
