Dear DuMuXers,

as the release manager, I would like to announce the schedule and important information for the next DuMuX release, DuMuX 2.11.

Consider following dates in your development / commit strategy:

== Soft feature freeze: March 10==
- All major changes that should be included and are not yet committed should be announced. Add a comment to issue #366 <https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/issues/366> describing the feature and areas affected by the change.
- Major changes not announced will be rejected after the soft freeze.
- Reports from the management representatives about remaining tasks.

== Hard feature freeze: March 17 ==
- All major changes must be committed before the hard feature freeze.
- Invasive fixes which might break other code are only accepted after consultation with the release manager, small fixes are ok. - Try to get your bugs fixed, your tests included and your documentation written before the hard feature freeze. - Final reports from the management representatives what is finished and what must be dropped.

== Final testing: March 27 ==
- No commits are allowed except these which are done by the release manager or which are explicitly authorization by the release manager.
- Release candidate packages will be provided.
- Tests on various systems, compilers, with different settings are run. Everyone should at least test the own tests!

== DuMuX 2.11 release: March 31 ==
- celebrate DuMuX and Rainer's birthday.

All commits violating this plan will be reverted without further comment.

Looking forward to a good release,
Sina
(Release manager DuMuX 2.11)
