TODO?

We want to especially thank

• the Infrastructure team which does all this great work in the background without which the development would not be possible at all,
• the deployments that provide the development team with feedback from the field,
• the Design team which guided the design of features with UI changes or impact on the workflow,
• the Translation team which makes sure that Sugar is enjoyable in the local languages of our users,
• the developers that submit patches for new features and bug fixes and do review other's patches,
• the maintainers that make sure their code is shippable and which provide packagers with new tarballs,
• the packagers which provide distributions with new Sugar packages,
• the SoaS, Toast and Debian team for providing a Sugar version to test with during the development cycle,
• the testers for finding the small and bigger issues,
• the release team and Development team for coordinating those efforts.

This time, _TODO_ took the responsibility of managing the release.
