GNOME 3.0 in March 2011

GNOME News 28.07.2010 18:45 Hello all, A few release team members talked with various people during the first few days at GUADEC to get a better feeling of where we stand on our road to GNOME 3.0. We held a meeting later and decided that GNOME 3.0 should be postponed to March 2011 to make sure this release will have the high quality we all expect. Our community wants to be proud of what we will release as 3.0, and moreover, we don't want to disappoint our users who are excited about our goals for GNOME 3.0. We will still release a stable version of GNOME in September, and we'll call it 2.32. We encourage maintainers to add a configure flag to easily make their modules use GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3, or to create a gnome-2-32 branch where the 2.32 work will be done. Thanks to the hard work the community has been doing in the last few months, we have achieved a lot for GNOME 3 and we therefore want to also release a GNOME 3 Beta in September. This will clearly send a signal that we want people to start playing with GNOME 3, and this will help build even more momentum before the release. Finally, it's important that everybody keeps focusing on making the GNOME 3 vision a reality: the additional time that we have until March 2010 should be used carefully and we encourage maintainers to target achievable goals during this new cycle. Cheers, Frederic
