Please add jaunty schedulage to the calendar

Hi folks,

There's a mention on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewReleaseCycleProcess of
including the release schedule on the Fridge. Could you import whatever
details you believe are appropriate from the jaunty calendar? iCal source
data is available at
<http://people.ubuntu.com/~vorlon/JauntyReleaseSchedule.ics>.

Thanks,

OLPC beat in FWN

Folks, I have been slammed with new work that is taking a lot of my time
right now and so for the forseeable future I am not going to be able
to continue with the OLPC beat, which only made it into one issue. I
will still be able to help out with FWN editorial duties. Hopefully
with the new year things should settle down again.
