TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.4 D&DP Beta 2

[Jeff Waugh <jdub perkypants org>]

GOOD MORNING HACKERS!

It is time for GNOME TWO POINT FOUR DESKTOP AND DEVELOPER PLATFORM BETA TWO!

                       (aka, GNOME 2.4 D&DP Beta 2.)

Tarballs are due by the end of Monday, 25th August 2003, for release to the
teeming masses of fascinated users, indomitable testers, Swedish FTP mirror
clusters, space tourists, marauding Mongolians, fearless translators, online
tech pundits, siblings and parents of hackers everywhere [1] and Californian
gubernatorial candidates on Wednesday.

As announced, CODE FREEZE will be IN EFFECT as of Beta 2. The release team
has paid a tidy sum to Cpt. D. Camp of Boston, MA for the use of his 70's
era, purple-velvet-lined Orbital Laser Battery Platform, and we are NOT
AFRAID to use it. Except maybe when Luis and Andrew get their hands on the
controls and threaten to decimate bugs with laser precision. But even lasers
won't bust through the CODE FREEZE!

    Make no mistake about it: GNOME 2.4 D&DP will ROCK the Pentre Ifan!

Thanks,

- Jeff
