Hi folks,
A quick reminder that for the F41 development cycle[1], the system-wide changes submission deadline is today, June 18th. This does not mean your change has to be accepted, it just means that you need to get your proposal filed by this date[2]. So if you are thinking of proposing a change, even if it's not fully fleshed out, consider submitting it anyway today and make use of our great community to iterate on your proposal in real time. The self-contained change proposal deadline is July 16th
It's important to also note that the 'testable' deadline[3] for changes is August 6th, however please be mindful that this is also our branching date from Rawhide so it would be preferable to have your changes landed in rawhide and available for testing before this date.
Your change, once approved to F41, landed in Rawhide for branching and testable, must then be 100% code complete[4] before we enter Beta Freeze on 20th August, or it will most likely need to be retargeted to F42.
Changes that are not code complete by the Beta Freeze date puts a big strain on the folks involved with each Fedora release, so by adhering to these dates, it helps the overall release process run much smoother, we all benefit from a higher quality release and a slightly less stressful crunch time at the end :) So thank you in advance for getting your changes ready in time for these milestones, it's hugely appreciated.
Please dont hesitate to reach out with questions or if I can be of any help.
Kindest regards, Aoife
