In general December is a month with low productivity, especially over the end of the month, as a result doing a freeze at that time may not be very efficient. Also I will be rather busy around end of January with travels and FOSDEM it's also the chinese new year, then February is a short month. My suggestion would be to rather plan 2 releases in 3 months, i.e. one around the 15th January with a freeze around Jan 8th, and then a release at the end of February with a freeze around 21st Feb. After that we are back to monthly end of month usual schedule. Does that sounds okay with everybody ?
