Feature Freeze and Upstream Version Freeze This Week

[Jonathan Riddell]

Feature Freeze and Upstream Version Freeze both happen on Thursday.
By the team meeting, scheduled for 20:00 UTC, all gutsy targeted specs
should be either at Beta Available or Postponed.  Please make sure to
update the status of your specs.  You should check that packages you care
about are at the newest version (or otherwise as suitable for
release).

Requests for freeze exceptions for main should be filed as bugs in
launchpad against the relevant package (or just "Ubuntu" if the
package is not available yet). Once the bug is filed and the necessary
information is available, subscribe the ubuntu-release team.

For universe, the motu-uvf will approve new packages (until Beta) and
upstream version freeze exceptions.
