“Developers want to take more time to “polish” their
next major release – GNOME 2.32 in September“When hundreds of developers from the GNOME project fly in from
different parts of the world to assemble for their yearly GUADEC
conference, it’s not only the perfect time to listen to lectures
and get some hacking done, but also a good opportunity to perform a
reality check. A step that the project has taken during the last
few days at the GUADEC 2010 in Den Haag and which now bears its
consequences: The release of GNOME 3.0 is going to be delayed for
another six months to March 2011.“Rationale
“”We could release in September and have something working that
is okayish, but it’s not up to the standards we have”, release team
member Vincent Untz explains the reasoning behind the
decision.”
