We reminded there is version freeze coming during meetings ( like http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2012/mageia-dev.2012-02-15-20.13.log.html#l-75 ), or what is the plan until the release ( http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-dev/2012/mageia-dev.2012-01-26-20.03.html ). We gave the list of date in advance ( https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_development ) and a link to the planning in every mail of announce, as well in blog posts and forums post. We have a calendar ( http://www.mageia.org/en/calendar/ ), where the freeze was given. And I expect people to either be experienced packager ( ie who have already done 1 release and so know the rules ), or to be new packagers with a experienced packager ( ie mentor ) who should have explained the release cycle. So if people have missed the whole plan, there is a problem that we need to fix, and the first step would be to collect reasons why they did missed it, not nag more everybody on every possible channels. For people who didn't miss and who read the mails etc, the reminder are annoying and the more reminder we put, the more they will start to ignore them. And I see no reason to annoy those that do the job and follow thing to help those that don't. So if someone want to start collecting feedback, digesting it and present it, just say that you are volunteer on the list, and start the collect. -- Michael Scherer
