+> Found the schedule at

+>     Alpha 1 : 16/11/2011
+>     Alpha 2 : 14/12/2011
+>     Beta 1 : 20/01/2012
+>     Versions freeze : 06/02/2012
+>     Artwork freeze: 10/02/2012
+>     i18n freeze: 10/02/2012
+>     Beta 2 : 14/02/2012
+>     Releases freeze : 06/03/2012
+>     RC : 09/03/2012
+>     Final Release: 04/04/2012
+> 
+> 
+> Now, the (likely) GNOME 3.4 schedule )https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree) has:
+> UI freeze:	February 20 2012
+> String freeze:	March 05 2012
+> Code freze:	March 19 2012
+> 3.4 release:	March 28 2012
+> 
+> The last 3.2 release (3.2.2): Nov 16 2011
+> 
+> 
+> My proposal is to use GNOME 3.4 for Mageia 2 as these freezes (to me) seem to
+> integrate well.

+
+I'd personally like to see 3.4 in mga2, although I agree the timing is
+very tight.
+
+That said, keeping development snapshots in cauldron until then would be
+really nice and help upstream with feedback etc.
+
+If we have to drop our schedule back a week but we get latest KDE and
+GNOME, I'd say it's worth it. I appreciate this argument can go on
+forever (just one more week and we get $SHINY), but for the two main DEs
+we support, I think it's reasonable and, as someone else said, really
+good for PR.
