UI freeze has always been around this time plus one week (I'm not sure where you take the "Aug 18" from - last year's freeze was August 15). > However, the new schedule makes very difficult to make UI projects > for GSoC and being included in the release, that as you might know > it's quite important for both the students to have their code in > master and for maintainers to have the projects in the release > itself. > > Could it be possible to reeschedule one week more again (at least)? I would not oppose moving "The Freeze" && 3.25.90 release to August 14th. I'd oppose making the entire release schedule (=3.26.0 release) a week longer though, as distributions need to rely on plans. > If not, would be the release team open for UI exceptions late on the > freeze cycle for those projects doing GSoC?
