Hi All, 

There was already a small thread about the 'problem' of next Akademy. To have the release done on 3rd of july 2009 and keep our 6 month cycle, we can push back 4.2 and 4.3 both with two weeks. 

So, I would propose the following change to the schedules of 4.2. Unfortunatly due to the holidays, i've made some more room between rc and final else it would get no testing at all...

October 19th, 2008: Soft Feature Freeze -> sep 29
October 21st, 2008: Tag KDE 4.2 Alpha 1 -> sep 30
October 28th, 2008: Release KDE 4.2 Alpha 1 -> okt 7
November 17th, 2008: Hard Feature Freeze -> okt 27
November 18th, 2008: Message Freeze. -> okt 28
November 18th, 2008: Tag KDE 4.2 Beta 1 -> okt 28
November 25th, 2008: Release KDE 4.2 Beta 1 -> nov 4
November 25th, 2008: Documentation/Handbook Freeze -> nov 4
December 9th, 2008: Tag KDE 4.2 Beta 2 -> nov 18
December 16th, 2008: Release KDE 4.2 Beta 2 -> nov 25
January 6th, 2009: Artwork and Bindings Freeze -> dec 9
January 6th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.2 RC 1 -> dec 9
January 13th, 2009: Release KDE 4.2 RC 1 -> dec 16
January 20th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.2 -> jan 4
January 27th, 2009: Release KDE 4.2 -> jan 13

I would like to propose the following schedule for 4.3. Basically the same as 4.1+1 year-1 month.

March 17th, 2009: Soft Feature Freeze
March 24nd, 2009: Tag KDE 4.3 Alpha 1
April 29th, 2009: Release KDE 4.3 Alpha 1
April 18th, 2009: Hard Feature Freeze
April 21th, 2009: Message Freeze.
April 21th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.3 Beta 1
April 28th, 2009: Release KDE 4.3 Beta 1
May 5th, 2009: Documentation/Handbook Freeze
May 19th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.3 Beta 2
May 26th, 2009: Release KDE 4.3 Beta 2
June 9th, 2009: Artwork and Bindings Freeze
June 9th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.3 RC 1
June 16th, 2009: Release KDE 4.3 RC 1
June 23nd, 2009: Tag KDE 4.3
June 30th, 2008: Release KDE 4.3

Let me know if there are objections.... I'll put it on techbase next week if no objections...

Best,

Toma
