Then, it would probably be a good idea to analyze if it's worth having
two global jams per cycle - one for packaging/design stuff, and other
one for docs/translations.
all teams are free to jam whenever they feel like it and should
generally be encouraged to do so.
Having one global jam date would generally help to rally all teams
around one date and have one big push which also might help less active
teams to get involved and do something.
But sure, if we can have two global jams which work well for everyone,
that'd be great too.
Have a great day,
Daniel

I would be for doing it on the week of the 4th September. That way, if
someone cannot finish something (as an example, in the documentation),
they will have more time to finish. I am saying this because most of the
contributions are to the docs, and the dates you are proposing are just
one week before doc freeze. Any other ideas?
I think the proposed dates are alright, and September 5-7 would be ok
too (Labor day in US is Sept 1, so no conflict there), but I'd really
rather see these Jams planned further ahead in general (too late for
this cycle). Daniel's proposed date is after both Feature and UI
Freeze, making packaging jams and anything related to design not very
useful if someone wants to contribute to this release - and having a
package sit in a queue until the next release opens is really no fun.
Doing it earlier in the cycle would still allow for great Testing and
Bug jams, and squeeze packaging back in.
We went back and forth on this. Having the jam earlier allows bug fixes
and package updates, but it doesn't make sense for translations or even
a lot of docs (screenshots) if it's before UI Freeze. There are some
things that must be done earlier in the cycle, and some that must be
done later, so no single date would allow for everything.
While the Docs team does appreciate having the Jam before freeze this
time (thank you!), it does mean they only have a week to review the
merge proposals before freeze, putting a bit of pressure on reviewing
these in addition to any other last minute things that need to be
(re)written.
