Man, on which world do you live? In the winter there is no snow either

evenings. 

Lets better hurry, freeze now, release by June, and go looney during
Summertime!

So... you're saying that that cold white crystalline stuff which fell last
month, lay around for a few days then disappeared, leaving behind what looked
suspiciously like wet ground *wasn't* snow?

 But in the Summer we have rain, which makes you stay indoors in the
 evenings.

Probably. Or maybe the rest of the day too, if you're *really* lucky.

 Lets better hurry, freeze now,

Were there less cloud cover here right now, probably. ;-)

 release by June, and go looney during Summertime!

That's all, folks!

Why would Ubuntu choose to release Dapper Drake, which is their first

Release Date Update

2006-03-20 Thread Mark Shuttleworh
Guys, you know putting the first freeze date before the end of the summer is 
foolish.  Many people do their best coding during the summer.


Debian should make sure The freeze begins after a whole summer of good 
coding and adding new features, like at the end of August or the begginnig 
of September.


Then the summer could be devoted to the coding of new and exciting features 
while it is most convienient.  Then you can spend the rest of the year and 
the begging of next year debugging.  Then you have a few months off before 
the summer major code fest.  This would give Debian a good one year release 
cycle wher you maximize your time over the summer to add new features.

Questionable... For starters, there is no global Summer, so what
hemisphere would Debian choose to favor? Seems a little silly to me.

Well, true.  I confess to northernhemisphereoentrism.

Still, even though Brazil, ANZ  South Africa are down under, the
