Bits from the release team: Winter is Coming (but not to South Africa)



We are busy with work and gin at DebConf 16, so here is a summary of what
we've been up to.

Stretch Freeze
==============

The freeze will begin on 5th November 2016. To recap:

  * 2016-11-05 Transition freeze
  * 2016-12-05 Mandatory 10-day migrations
  * 2017-01-05 Soft freeze
  * 2017-02-05 Full freeze

Auto removals from testing will continue throughout.

The freeze policy has been updated and is available for your perusal:

Call for Artwork
================

Niels Thykier is co-ordinating artwork, but he needs submissions.
Please see https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/06/msg00001.html


release.debian.org is moving
============================

The Release Team tools, website and other resources (including `britney`
output) are moving to a new DSA host. There will be some disruption during
this move, including suspending `britney` at times.  Please bear with us
while we complete this work.

As part of the move, the `testing.pl` script is being deprecated and will
eventually be removed. It is unmaintained and no longer shows an accurate
version of reality.

Buster+1
========

The release managers have determined that Debian 11 will be named Bullseye.
