• Planning for 12.3

    Hi,

    The next point release for bookworm should be around the end of November
    2023. We're about a week behind cadence anyway, but I already know the 28th November will be unsuitable (Cambridge mini-debconf) and the weekend
    following is probably recovery time for a lot of people.

    Much after that we get into holidays and well off cadence.

    How about:
    4th December (better for cadence)
    11th December (more likely suitable in practice)

    Thanks,

    November, not December. The correct proposals should be:

    2nd December (better for candence, no-go for me)
    9th December (more likely suitable in practice)

    Hi all.

    I can do both weekends, but unfortunately Isy will be unavailable for either date as she will be doing her mock exams.

    Given Isy's exams however, it will not be possible to host the images team in Cottenham either date, sorry.

    All the best
    /Andy

    Press can do both weekends, will Andy's image host affect new dates proposed?


    <Large amounts snipped>

    Hi Donald,

    Andy was kind enough to host the images team this weekend such that the build took place from his house on the other side of Cambridge (from "normal" at Sledge's house),

    Isy has important exams - so can't take part in the testing those weekends - and Andy's been preemptive in confirming that he *can't* _host_ that weekend but may be able to take part himself as part of the team.

    It sounds as if we'll likely be back to Sledge's, then, if that is feasible.

    Thanks to both Sledge and RattusRattus for unfailing hospitality.

    I foresee a trip to Cambridge twice inside a fortnight for me, anyway.

    Both of those currently look feasible for me.

    Sorry for not replying sooner.

    I'd prefer not the 2nd, because that means handling the freeze while at miniconf. The 9th should be OK.

    Assuming everyone's still OK with their previous responses, it looks

    All good for me. But as previously mentioned Isy will pass due to sitting mock exams both sides
