April deadline for the creation of the 12.04 release branch

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

This is just an early notice that we have 1 week before the end of April; if we want to continue with the YY.04 pattern, and create a 12.04 branch, it would be nice to cut the release sometime during this week.
This thread is intended to help the synchronization between committers; possible options:

1) create the branch sometime before the end of April with name "release12.04"
2) delay a little bit (a few weeks?) the creation of the branch, that we will still name "release12.04"
3) delay the creation of the branch and then we will call it 12.MM where MM is the month of the creation of it

My preference would be #1; please express your preference and I will implement accordingly.

Kind regards,

Jacopo

The release branch can be created at any time as far as I am concerned.

Let's start with creating the JIRA for the branch first. Then we can
capture what issues can and will be planned for that branch.

As far as I am concerned the minor number doesn't add much to the release
naming. In general minor numbers are used for versioning within a release.
But I accept that it is the way we have done it in the past and continue to
do.

Regards,

Pierre

To keep the release cycle simple and understandable, I think we should go with the first option.

+1 for 1) also, I don't see anything blocking

The idea behind is the same than for Ubuntu.

We could for instance release 12.06 instead of 12.04 or have 12.04 and 12.11, etc.

I personally don't see the need for a Jira, easier to exchange quickly here
