Summer release

Release themes

Faster and fancier. Focus on performance, eg. application start-up time and boot up. Dedicated team for this (lead by Vesa-Matti).

More applications, better settings. New contributions eg. new Terminal, Package manager, GPRS settings. More community applications (via Cool Stuff page), including Extras client. Fix critical bugs in existing use cases (phone calls, SMS, browser, camera). Dedicated team also for this. Jukka facilitating, but still looking for team lead if somebody wants to stand up.

Schedule

Release image available in morning of 23th June. Updates can continue until 30th June. Detailed release plan TBD (Carsten, Sage).
