Subject: KOffice release schedule updated
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-i18n-doc&m=99121284709657

Here's a proposal for the schedule of the next koffice releases :
(also available on http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/koffice-1.1-release-plan.html)

This schedule plans a beta 3, a release candidate, and then 1.1-final,
with a translated-message freeze of ... hmm, 2 months (maybe that's longer
than necessary ?).

KOffice 1.1 Beta 3
==============
 
* Monday June 11
The HEAD branch of KOffice is frozen : no new features, bugfixes
commits only, no commit that modifies an application's behaviour,
and **message freeze**. This freeze will last till the release of
KOffice 1.1!
 
* Monday June 18
The HEAD branch of CVS is tagged KOFFICE_1_1_BETA3, and tarballs are made.
They are made public immediately, and given to packagers for creation
of binary packages.
 
* Monday June 25
Announce KOffice 1.1 Beta 3
 
KOffice 1.1 Release Candidate
========================
 
* Monday July 9
KOffice goes into deep-freeze. All commits should be posted for
review first.
 
* Monday July 16
The HEAD branch of CVS is tagged KOFFICE_1_1_RC1, and tarballs are made.
They are made public immediately, and given to packagers for creation
of binary packages.
 
* Monday July 23
Announce KOffice 1.1 Release Candidate
 
KOffice 1.1 final
=============
 
* Sunday August 5
Last day for translations, documentation, icons and critical bugfixes
commits.
 
* Monday August 6
The HEAD branch of CVS is tagged KDE_2_2_RELEASE and the day is spent testing
the release a final time.
 
* Tuesday August 7
The tarballs are made and released to the packagers.
 
The rest of the week is spent testing the tarballs, packaging and writing the
announcement and changelog.
 
* Friday August 10
The source and binary packages are uploaded to ftp.kde.org to give some time
for the mirrors to get them.

* Monday August 13
Announce KOffice 1.1.

Feedback welcome !
