Sugar and Toolkit:

Special thanks to our Google Code-In and Google Summer of Code students for their contributions over the past year.

Activities:

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, James Cameron took the responsibility of managing the release.
