2009-07-28 Feature Freeze--Planning & Development Ends
Are we actually exporting that different elsewhere?
Yeah... I remember scanning
this page and catching the
Beta (Final Development) Freeze
and thinking "cool! I have unto the 29th to finish my development!"
and then never giving a it a second thought... Until John email
came out.. cementing the 29th...
Maybe removing the "Final Development" part and replace it
with something like "Beta Freeze (Bug Fixes ONLY)" might have helped.
But as the end of the day, I did miss the "Development Ends"
part of the Feature Freeze since I took it the Feature Freeze
as no more features allowed in the F-12 release, which was the
ultimate mistake... Moving too fast for my own good... :(
