The need for Ship.2 interrupted buttoning down Update.1. So here's a revamped schedule for comment. Note if we have blockers open for the release we will not release until either we've fixed the blockers (or revisit the functionality).
The build Tzar for Update.1 will be Dennis Gilmore. Note that we are working increasingly hard on keeping schedule and contents of releases, major fixes and goals of releases in the roadmap in trac, found at: http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap. You should refer to that whenever you have questions or issues. Schedule (currently tentative, not yet ratified). These dates need coordination with Quanta and subject to change.: * String Freeze (for translations): 12/8/07 * Code Freeze: 12/15/07 * Refresh packages to pick up translations 12/19/07 * First Candidate Release (RC1): 12/21/07 * Second Candidate Release (RC2): 1/4/08 * Release of Update.1: 1/11/08 * Quanta manufacturing start: 1/21/08 Since previous releases, we now have an active and growing community of translators working hard. If you look at the projects in https://dev.laptop.org/translate/ you will see serious work to translate the UI using Pootle thanks to the hard work of Sayamindu Dasgupta and Xavier Alvarez with help from Alfonso de la Guarda. For translations to be coordinated we need to add some dates to the schedule; for UI elements to be translated, and a chance to update activities to pull in translations after string freeze. Note that activity developers should only be fixing key bugs from code freeze until when we'd like updated activities with translations. Comments? Issues? Concerns?
