Temat: [Tails-l10n] Release schedule for Tails 1.8
Hi,

I'll be the release manager for Tails 1.8, which is a minor/stable
release scheduled for 2015-12-15. This is the last *planned* Tails
release based on Debian Wheezy, so except potential emergency releases,
Tails will be based on Debian Jessie after 1.8. :)

The list of tickets targeting Tails 1.8 can be found here:

172 ticket! Yikes! And that doesn't include 18 tickets I currently see
in the view for Tails 1.7:

Please postpone tickets ASAP! Also, please sit down and try to make your
plans for 1.8 realistic. Let's not have the current Target Release
degenerate to "the list of things I should prioritize". And yes, I know
I am a hypocrite with my 51 tickets targeting 1.8. :) I'll have such a
sit down myself, soon.

Here's the preliminary release schedule for Tails 1.8:

* 2015-12-14:
  - All branches targeting Tails 1.8 *must* be merged into the `stable`
    branch by noon, CET.
  - The upcoming Tor Browser is hopefully out so we can import it.
  - Build and upload Tails 1.8 ISO image and IUKs.
  - Hopefully start testing Tails 1.8.


* 2015-12-15:
- Finish testing Tails 1.8 by the afternoon, CET.
- Release Tails 1.8 during late CET.

Testers, please let me know:

* if you are available on 2015-12-14, late CET

* if you are available on 2015-12-15, morning to afternoon, CET.

Cheers!
