Hi all,

We're drawing to the close of another release for Launchpad and I want
to state the deadlines we're approaching so there are no surprises.
Here is the schedule for the next week, starting Friday the 30th October:

Friday 22:00 UTC - PQM will close.  All subsequent submissions are
   release-critical only. Note: this Friday 22:00 closure of PQM makes
   it super-important to get your QA done now :)

Tuesday 09:00 UTC - devel will be closed to new branches.
   All landings will then go to db-devel.

Tuesday 20:00 UTC - Buildbot is put into 'on demand' mode.

Wednesday 00:00 UTC - Deadline for submitting to PQM.
   All queued branches submitted to buildbot.

Wednesday 03:30ish UTC - If there are buildbot failures they are
   dealt with ASAP and a single [testfix] branch submitted.  When the
   fixes are in, a new run of buildbot is initiated.  If buildbot has no
   failures then the build is the one that will be used.  No new work
   will be accepted. This means that the asia-pacific region will be
   responsible for fixing any last minute failures (I'll be getting up
   around this time too).

Wednesday 07:00 UTC - Final decision about which build we will use
   for the release.  Normally the build corresponding to the last
   clean run of buildbot is used.  LOSAs begin their preparations for
   the roll-out.

Wednesday 09:00 UTC - Roll-out of the release begins.

There are still some details of the actual roll-out to be decided (with
some possible downtime, due to Librarian fixes) - more info to come.

Thanks!
