Hi folks!
Today shadowmaster raised the topic of the next dev release and the start of
the preps for 1.12. First question:

* Does releasing 1.11.7 next Saturday work for you? Are there any blockers or
things you really need to have in it?

The more important question though is when to work on the next stable series.
The last stable series is now getting close to 2 years old. He mentioned that
having 1.11.8 as start of a feature freeze would make sense to him. My
question to you folks is if this will also work for you. This is what I would
propose as timeline for the 1.12 series:

* Start of feature (and string!) freeze with 1.11.8 shortly before Christmas
(December 21st?)
* Stabilization phase for ~2 month (with a release every ~3 weeks)
* Start of RC time mid February (hopefully only 1 RC), might be a possible
time for branching off the new stable branch
* Release of 1.12.0 around March 1st 2014

What do you think of a plan like this? Will this work for you? I supposed less
than 2 month for the string and feature freeze time won't work otherwise the
translators have no chance to play catch up. What should also be considered in
the timeline is if we want to participate in GSoC and have students work
directly master. Another option would be not to release a stable series this
year, but I think then it would be *extremely* long since the last one.

Please post your comments here on the ML so that everyone can participate in
the discussion.

Cheers,
Nils Kneuper aka Ivanovic
