Hi!
As time flows really fast, we are getting closer to another important 
milestones for Fedora 19 [1] on 2013-03-12 (as agreed by FESCo):
* Feature Freeze -- Planning & Development Ends
* Branch Freeze -- Branch Fedora 19 from Rawhide

Feature Freeze is in one week from now, please keep in mind that 
it's the time when your features has to be in *substantially 
complete and in a testable state!*. See the Feature Freeze policy [2].

Please update your feature pages - with the best percentage done 
"estimate" - 80%+ and last updated field (do not update Features List, 
it's  automatically generated now). If you're *at risk* of not making 
the Feature Freeze, please update your feature page accordingly
and let me know. The community can help a lot, communication is the
key.

For Branch Freeze Policy, take a look on [3] and also on the list
of orphaned packages and packages that have failed to build since 
Fedora 17, as these are going to be blocked on Branch date [4].

The full Fedora 19 schedule moved to a new, program manager neutral 
place, see [5]. Please, let me know if you need any change in the
schedule.

Thanks
Jaroslav
