Hey guys,

Yeah, we need a better name with that cadence change. :)

So now, the daily release process is run way more often to speed up our 
delivery time to the baseline (every 4h). You will find more information 
at 
http://blog.didrocks.fr/post/Release-early%2C-release-often%2C-release-every-4h%21.

The particular important piece for upstream can be summed up there:
* you now have a window of 4 hours before the "tick" to push stuff in 
different trunks in a coherence piece rather than only once a day, 
before 00 UTC.
* everytime there is an issue with one component/stack, a bug is opened, 
upstream is pinged about it and we write about those on 
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuDk72Lpx8U5dHFtUmlPOUtCRk8zR2dtaEpIbUVhMmc#gid=3. 
We escalate after 3 days if nothing is fixed by then.

You can find the schedule of the 4h tick here: 
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuDk72Lpx8U5dHFtUmlPOUtCRk8zR2dtaEpIbUVhMmc#gid=4 
(look at the X cross for when a build starts)

I hope that will help to get faster and even more snappier and easy 
delivery!

Thanks,
Didier
