Hi folks, Just a quick note to let people know what's going on with some new milestones you may have noticed showing up in Launchpad.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-13.04-month-5 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-13.04-month-6 When we originally set up the milestones for raring, we expected to only need monthly milestones for the first four months, followed by the traditional "beta" and "release" milestones. However, with the increased emphasis on a monthly planning cycle within Canonical engineering, there was a perceived need to target work (in particular, blueprints) more precisely to the month, and not to the beta and release which do *not* happen at the end of the month. Of course, any of this work that should be landed in the Ubuntu archive will still need to respect the freezes and the release process; but as it's not tied to the release milestones, targeting it to those milestones would both be setting unhelpful deadlines for the work and (potentially) cluttering the release team's view of the release milestones. We also have milestones added for beyond 13.04, with expected dates set to the end of each month: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-13.05 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-13.06 [...] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-13.10 The names are in no way meant to imply changes to our release process - this is unrelated to the "monthly snapshot" proposal, and the milestones are meant for planning only (with the exception of the "ubuntu-13.10" milestone). The names are simply meant to make it easier to see when work is targeted without having to do date math on them.
