Fwd: UI Freeze in place for Lucid; changes to the freeze exception process

[Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)]

Hi

Most of you are probably aware of the UI freeze as explained by Steve in 
the e-mail below. I'm quite sure most people are by now aware of the 
branding changed in Ubuntu[1]. Some of the derivatives, such as Xubuntu 
and Edubuntu will also be affected by this. Particularly, logos will be 
changing and while Ubuntu is quite good in terms of keeping branding 
relatively low, there will probably be a few places where you might find 
the old versions. For Edubuntu specifically, we haven't received the new 
logo from Canonical yet, although it should be ready real soon now.

Even though UI freeze starts today, I just want to remind anyone who's 
taking screenshots that there will probably be quite a lot of little 
changes especially when there are logos involved. If you find an old 
Ubuntu logo anywhere you should probably file a bug against the relevant 
artwork package.

Hello Ubuntu developers,

Effective today, we are officially under the User Interface Freeze
for Lucid:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserInterfaceFreeze

In order to help ensure our documentation is accurate for the release,
please notify the documentation team of any further changes to artwork, text
strings, or UI designs that will be made between now and the release, and
please make such changes only where necessary.


Also, as part of the ongoing process of
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveReorganisation>, I'm happy to report that
the ubuntu-release and motu-release teams have now been merged.  Welcome to
all our new release team members!  When submitting freeze exception requests
(either for the UI Freeze or for the Feature Freeze), please subscribe the
ubuntu-release team only, regardless of whether the package is in universe
or in main.  Otherwise, the requirements for submitting freeze exceptions
remain the same, and as always are documented at:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

Cheers,
--
Steve Langasek
On behalf of the Ubuntu release team
