We are now moving back deep into development territory, there will be no further coordinated 3.8 releases (individual module maintainers may still publish new stable tarballs); our next release will be 3.9.2, to be published at the end of the month.

Tarballs are due on 2013-05-13 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.8.2 stable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.8.2. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you!

As of now I kept sending my mails to multiple mailing lists at once (foundation-list, desktop-devel-list, devel-announce-list) but I feel that wasn't the best way to achieve my goal. As of today, a new mailing list exists for these kind of announces [1], someone could argue that this is yet-another-mailing-list but I'm completely sure that having a specific and targeted mailing list will definitely help everyone out. The improvements: 1. subscribing to the new list will make sure that you don't lose any maintenance, downtime, outage announcement 2. you can track when a specific maintenance will happen or has happened in the past and what was done. 3. the GNOME Sysadmin team has finally a place to send its announcements to making sure they reach the wider audience as possible. Have an awesome day and please take a little minute to subscribe to the new list.

SSSD has an internal cache and right after the restart some user/groups entries were purged and the real problem popped up. For some reason the client isn't able to query the groups field on our LDAP server correctly, and that's blocking git pushes. I'll keep debugging what's going on and keep you informed as soon as everything is back to normality. Thanks for your patience, </pre> Andrea Veri 2013-03-29T00:54:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.devel.announce/322 <pre> GNOME 3.8 Released ================== Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 3.8, the latest version of the popular free desktop, as well as the GNOME developer platform. GNOME 3.8 is the fourth major update of GNOME 3. It builds on the foundations that we have laid with the previous 3.x releases and offers a greatly enhanced experience. The exciting new features and improvements in this release include a integrated application search, privacy and sharing settings, notification filtering, a new classic mode, OwnCloud integration, previews of clocks, notes, photos and weather applications, and many more. For more information about the major changes in GNOME 3.8, please visit our release notes: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/ GNOME 3.8 will be available shortly in many distributions. Live images of GNOME 3.8 are currently being prepared and will appear soon at: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ This six months effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, system administrators, companies, artists, testers and last, not least, users. GNOME would not exist without all those people. Thanks very much to every one of them! Our next release, GNOME 3.10, is planned for September 2013. Until then, enjoy GNOME 3.8 !

On Thursday, 21 March 2013, we are running GNOME 3.8 Test Day, organized by the Fedora QA team with the help of the GNOME &amp; Fedora communities. The purpose of the Test Day is to ensure that the upcoming GNOME 3.8 release is working as smoothly as possible in Fedora 19. Everybody is encourage to join us. Fixes for any bugs found at the Test Day will land in upstream GNOME for the benefit of all distributions. For more information on the Test Day, read the original announcement: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2013-March/000625.html More details are available on the GNOME 3.8 Test Day wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-03-21_Gnome_3.8 Thanks, Petr Kovar </pre> Petr Kovar 2013-03-19T21:46:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.devel.announce/319 <pre>Hello all, That was fast, we are already reaching 3.7.92, you get to roll tarballs on Monday, try not to be late. Also that will be the last chance to get your fixes in, after that: hard code freeze, e.g. you will have to require a big bunch of approvals to get changes in. Let's repeat: Tarballs are due on 2013-03-18 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.7.92 rc release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.7.92. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! We will be entering the hard code freeze: this is a late freeze to avoids sudden last-minute accidents which could risk the stability that should have been reached at this point. No source code changes are allowed without approval from the release team, but translation and documentation should continue. Simple build fixes are, of course, allowed without asking.

The release team asks you to come up and discuss new platform-wide features to be added for GNOME 3.10 (in September 2013)! Tell us your plans for the next six months here: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointNine/Features Proposed features must have an assignee working on them. The proposal period is planned to end in about a month. Feature proposals are about the core desktop, hence this does not affect features on a per-module basis. Still we *highly* encourage you to communicate your plans for your projects early. In case of doubt: Better announce too much than not enough!

Unfortunately we can't keep the database where it is now anymore, our main NFS node (container) is going out of space [2] and moving mysqld away from combobox is a needed move. That said, the migration will happen tomorrow from 11:30 to 16:00 GMT+1, the service will be shutdown to prevent data loss.
