[Qemu-devel] Proposed 2.5 release schedule

[Peter Maydell]

Here's a suggested 2.5 release schedule, constructed fairly arbitrarily
by putting a week's margin for slippage in before everybody leaves for
Christmas, and having a four week softfreeze and four week hardfreeze:

 Softfreeze 15 Oct
 Hardfreeze 12 Nov
 Release 10 Dec

(these are all Thursdays, and this gives us five and a half weeks til
softfreeze.)

Does anybody have any different preferences, want to suggest shorter
freeze periods, etc?

(Philosophical question: I tend to assume we will slip by a week, because
we pretty much have always done so over the last few weeks. If we made
the official hardfreeze a week longer, would we make our releases on
the scheduled date, or would we just end up slipping another week
anyhow? :-))

thanks
