[Localization] Fwd: Announcing the development of OLPC OS 13.1.0

[Chris Leonard]

Dear Localizers,

The deadline for landing translations of Fructose and Honey activities
in this future OLPC image is going to be well in advance of the string
freeze for the Sugar 0.98 cycle.

I'd like to ask everyone to take a look at their Fructose and Honey
(and maybe Honey2) projects and try to complete a few more PO files.

The priority is Fructose before Honey and only later Honey2.

Try to get partially translated PO files to 100% if you can and I
would ask language admins to look over their projects and try to
commit anything that is complete (or close).  If it already been
committed, you'll get an error message, but it will not cause any
harm, so go ahead and run through all of your activities.

This is really only important for the languages that are typically
included in an OLPC base-line image.  Other languages can be picked up
using the OS-Builder tool-chain to produce point releases as always.

Hi,

First a quick update on 12.1.0: sadly we have missed the planned
release date by quite a while, due to an unfortunate chain of
stability issues which have taken a lot of our time away over the last
few months. The good news is that we think we've just nailed the last
issue, so the release is expected soon (really now!).

Now to announce our next release cycle:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/13.1.0
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/13.1.0/Release_plan

Our goals are to add support for the XO-4 laptop, which includes
providing a good touchscreen experience on the Sugar side too. We're
moving the base OS to Fedora 18 to take advantage of the latest
touchscreen-related developments.

As described in the release plan, we are currently in open development
until October 11th - all features and invasive changes need to land in
relatively-stable state before that date. We will then follow with a
4-week bug-fixes-only period, followed by a 4-week
regression-fixes-only period, followed by the planned release on
December 6th. Like last time I will act as the release manager.

Your continued feedback is appreciated: we are looking to draw in
testing, bug reports and development efforts from the community,
starting as soon as the first build appears :)

Thanks!
Daniel
