Proposal to Release Ubuntu 10.10 on 10.10.10

[Robbie Williamson]

Hi,

I have been approached with a proposal to move the release date up by 3
weeks to 10/10/10, to take advantage of a "unique marketing
opportunity".  As Platform lead for Canonical, I don't feel it's a
decision I nor the Canonical Platform managers should make alone, as it
affects *all* developers/contributors to Ubuntu.  With that said, I
would like the Technical Board's input on making the change, and whether
or not it needs to be discussed on ubuntu-devel or at least at UDS
before deciding.  I've created a 10.10 schedule[1] based on this
proposal for an easier analysis of the impact of this change.
