PreviewFreeze in effect!

[Jeff Waugh]

Hi all,

We've had pretty loose release requirements so far, which is appropriate for
bootstrapping a long term release process... but it's time to start reducing
the churn, and focus on high impact bug fixes only. It's FREEZE TIME! :-)

Here's the process for the PreviewFreeze:

  1) Matt and I will prioritise bugs to fix before the Preview release as
     'Critical' or 'Blocker' severity. If you think a particular bug needs
     to be on this list, please raise its severity to 'Major' - Matt or I
     will check and raise these if appropriate.

  2) Uploads are frozen, and MUST have an associated 'Critical' or 'Blocker'
     bug AND email confirmation from Matt or I (you might want to Cc bugs to
     us to make this easier).

  3) Please check your bug list regularly (see the 'My Bugs' query), and
     focus on fixing the red 'Critical' and 'Blocker' bugs first.

The only exceptions during this freeze are new GNOME version releases from
Seb (because we're in the final straight of 2.8 tarballs from upstream).

If you have any questions about the freeze, please reply on the list.

Keep in mind that we have a month to find and fix major bugs between Preview
and Final (support-only mode), so we'll be well prepared to leap back into
the feature development fray for HoaryHedgehog!

Rock'n'roll!

- Jeff
