See below the proposed schedule for the next Sugar release.
Since Etoys is part of Sugar, we will need to have some version ready for this.

Hi,
I have written a proposal for the new 0.88 schedule [1]. Basically, I followed the GNOME schedule for 2.30 [2]. Following in terms of dates, and I have added certain new freezes we did not have before.
In detail:
- tarballs due will be on Mondays, and the release on Wednesdays: I hope
this will allow us to see the tarballs packaged by the end of the week by the distributions ---> getting more testing done over the weekend
- UI Freeze added: No UI changes may be made without approval from the
release-team and notification to the documentation list. Having such a freeze helps documentation efforts, and to not introduce workflow regressions and issues late in the cycle.
- The feature freeze and API freeze is earlier compared to previous
cycles. This should help to get a more stable release at the envisioned release date. After this shortened release cycle, from one feature freeze to the next one, there will be always 6 months. So the same amount of time to allow for development of features.
- To allow for long term planning, I have drafted the 0.90 schedule, too
[3]. This should help to schedule bigger features.
- Testing: I hope to see much much more testing in this release cycle.
Two things should help here: a) I encourage the creation of a testing team. b) The 0.88 release will be packaged early. For testing purposes 0.88 will be packaged for F12. Other distributions are encouraged to do similar.
- Feature Process: We will follow the process [4] defined in the 0.86
cycle. It will be communicated another time.
- Getting it into a release: As we follow the same schedule as GNOME is,
we should have no issues in getting our packages into the distributions in time. See the F13 [5] for example.
Comments welcome, Simon
