As you might know already, Linaro is moving to a monthly release of technology preview for most of the components being worked on. This obviously includes the kernel, so some coordination amongst all people involved is required.
It was decided that those releases would happen on the last Thursday of each month, so for the 11.06 release this is June 30th.
To give a chance for the kernel to be stable by that time, I'll effectively freeze it one week earlier i.e. on June 23rd for the 11.06 release. The last week before the actual release should be dedicated to testing and bug fixing only.
So... what this means is that you need to send me any patches and/or pull requests for the Linaro kernel at least _8_ DAYS BEFORE THE RELEASE. Obviously, you can send me patches way before that deadline as well, which would be highly appreciated. Today is June 14th, meaning that there are less than 9 days left (less so if you don't include the weekend).
We also hope that everyone will try to perform a bit more testing than usual during the last week, and also get involved in bug fixing activities until the release.
If you have some concerns about this please let me know so we can find ways to improve things. Hopefully we'll get up to speed with this pace and there won't be any major problems.
