## Spotlight: Cosmic Cuttlefish (18.10) Feature Freeze Reminder

We are nearing release for Cosmic (18.10) on October 18th. In
preparation for the release,
we recently entered Feature Freeze on August 23rd [1].
Now is the time that we focus on bug fixes for our packages because most
of the significant features
targetting Cosmic are 'frozen'. Thank you for helping us build a better
Ubuntu! We look forward to another great release.

release-related dates.
