Hi,

The general schedule can be found here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule

The main dates:

September 19th - UserInterfaceFreeze (the time when developers will do a  
massive push of string bunches, e.g. technically break the string freeze  
;) )

September 19th - October 3rd - String freeze breaks with and without a  
notice (upstream and downstream).

October 3rd - Non LanguagePack Translation Deadline, all translations  
committed to bootloader, installer and most Translation Project catalogs  
will be visible in 14.04 only. Ubiquity descriptions for Ubuntu and  
derivatives should be updated by this date (breaking most of the LP  
translations with only changing "13.04" with "13.10", so the offline  
translation memory rules at least in this case ;) ), but who knows...

October 10th - LanguagePack Translation Deadline, 13.10 translation  
becomes some kind of sport, nothing more. But string freeze breaks are  
still possible. ;)

That's just my vision of the current state of arts.

Best regards,
Yuri
