Freezing features this week.

[Michael Stone]

ear world,

We're FREEZING OUR FEATURE-SET THIS WEEK, which means that features targeted at
the 8.2.0 release should be IN A JOYRIDE BUILD BY THIS SUNDAY, JULY 6TH. If the
outlines of your feature aren't

  a) in Joyride by the end of the week, [1]
  b) documented in a release contract in [2]
  
    http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/18
  
then we'll probably defer you if you ask us to include your work in 8.2.0 at
any later date. If your work isn't going to be ready to test by Sunday, then
please explain your situation on devel at .

Thanks,

Michael



[1]: Joyride is our development build stream. Please contact us if you have
questions about how to use Joyride.

[2]: Release contracts are an organizational tool that I'm trying out for this
release. See 

  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Scheduled_software_release_process#Release_Contracts

for my thoughts on what they represent. If you think you need a release
contract, best come talk to me.
