Tue May 24 13:58:09 CEST 2011

Hi there
+
+Here are some information about coming release.
+
+- List of pending tasks before final release
+ http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=iso1:countdown#technical_countdown
+
+ - Security updates are now closed until stable is out. Please fill
+bug reports so we do not forget about the various fixes to correct.
+
+ - Release Notes: we need to have it done for thursday so that we can
+include it in mageia-release package. This can be updated later but
+still we need something quite complete. i18n team will also needs to
+translate it before 1rst of june.
+
+- Submit will be frozen on Thursday. If you wish to send a bugfix, it
+will have to go to updates repository. For new packages, or new
+version ( except for bugfixes ), the procedure is to send them to
+backport ( using backports_testing first is wanting test ). The exact
+procedure was not however decided yet.
+
+- Final isos tests will be done with a experienced group of testers to
+be able to manage that process properly. First builds will start on
+Friday and isos should be delivered before 31rst of may in the
+evening.
+
+- shortly after the release, cauldron will be reopen to let people
+submit. Some time may however be needed for sysadmins to prepare the
+switch. We will also start to discuss all details postponed previously
+such as release cycle, etc.
+
+
+Thanks all for the hard work
+
+Cheers
+
+
