The bad news, I'm also travelling back and forth today and tomorrow for an
urgent personal issue which can't be delayed :(
I really feel bad but we all know that real life comes first. Sad but true.
I wish I'm full time dedicated to Ubuntu GNOME but this is just not
possible at the moment.

That said, I shall do my best. Release Notes shouldn't be a hassle as we
can use the template of the last cycle's notes and change the paragraph
related to Utopic Unicorn.

I shall be travelling in an hour from now and not yet sure when I shall be
back?!
Once I'm home again with Internet access (I have no internet access when
I'm outside my home), I shall look at the release notes, etc.

As for the Release Team, I shall reply now before I leave ...

I'm VERY sorry but not sure what happened to my life lately ... everything
changed ...

I second that.
I know I'm guilty and it makes me so bad because we didn't send any email
for testing this cycle but hope if someone could help us to highlight the
major issues? thanks in advance ...

On another hand, I'll do MY BEST to find a way if myself and Tim are busy,
there must be someone who should take care of these urgent matter ... I can
cancel anything online and focus on Ubuntu GNOME but when it comes to real
life urgent issues, I really can't do anything :(

Thanks!
