Proposed Newton schedule has two 'Oct 10-14' weeks (at R+0 and R+1) so we need to fix this. Ideal Summit date is at R+3, and Ocata is likely to be a short cycle already, so moving the release date to October 6 (instead of October 13) sounds like our best bet.

Cross-project events
Newton Design Summit
newton-1 milestone
XXX is the newton-1 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.
newton-2 milestone
XXX is the newton-2 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.
Final release for non-client libraries
Libraries that are not client libraries (Oslo and others) should issue their final release during this week. That allows to give time for last-minute changes before feature freeze.
newton-3 milestone
XXX is the newton-3 milestone window for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model.
Feature freeze
The newton-3 milestone marks feature freeze for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model. No featureful patch should be landed after this point. Exceptions may be granted by the project PTL.
Final release for client libraries
Client libraries should issue their final release during this week, to match feature freeze.
Soft StringFreeze
You are no longer allowed to accept proposed changes containing modifications in user-facing strings. Such changes should be rejected by the review team and postponed until the next series development opens (which should happen when RC1 is published).
RC1 target week
The week of XXX is the target date for projects following the release:cycle-with-milestones model to issue their first release candidate.
Hard StringFreeze
This happens when the RC1 for the project is tagged. At this point, ideally no strings are changed (or added, or removed), to give translator time to finish up their efforts.
Final RCs and intermediary releases
The week of XXX is the last week to issue release candidates or intermediary releases before release week. On release week only final-release-critical releases will be accepted (at the discretion of the release team).
Newton release
The Newton coordinated release will happen on XXX.
Project-specific events
Elections
Ocata cycle PTLs self-nomination
Project team lead candidates for the Ocata cycle should announce their candidacy during this week.
Ocata cycle PTLs election
Election week for Project team leads (where an election must be held to determine the winner).
TC member self-nomination
Candidates for the partial Technical Committee member renewal should announce their candidacy during this week.
TC member election
Election for partially renewing Technical Committee members will happen during this week.
