Anyone remembers the `Kicking off Squeeze' mail to d-d-a? [0] Here some quotes from it: The main aim of the Release Team is to help the Project deliver a release the developers will be proud of, with a development process they’ll find satisfactory, and with a balanced timeline that will meet the needs of developers and end-users. So, here’s our deal for the Squeeze development cycle, during which we will: * actively seek and act upon feedback and criticism from the developers, in order to prevent past mistakes from happening again, and improve the interaction between the RT and the rest of the project. * engage in discussions with the developers at large, as well as particular groups and teams, to get a clear picture of what their concerns, objectives and proposed solutions are. What I understand from following this topic about it, this isn't exactly the truth with the new squeeze release cycle. I don't know if it's good or not to have a fixed freeze date synced with Ubuntu, but I agree that the way this was decided and communicated to the developers wasn't that great.
