[Edwin Grubbs <edwin.grubbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

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 this week:

On last Thursday, PQM was closed.  All subsequent
   submissions are release-critical only.

Tuesday 22:00 UTC - devel will be closed to new branches.
   All landings will then go to db-devel.

Wednesday 08:00 UTC - Buildbot is put into 'on demand' mode.

Wednesday 12:00 UTC - Deadline for submitting to PQM.
   All queued branches submitted to buildbot.

Wednesday 15:30ish 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.

Wednesday 20:00 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 22:00 UTC - Roll-out of the release begins.

-Edwin
