GNOME Plans Review
The GNOME plans for this cycle: stay on 3.6, update some selected stack component, get the new serie working in a ppa, consider pulling over some extra components on a case by case basis if there is a good reason

Whiteboard
Components we are going to update: glib, d-conf, gobject-
We will get GTK in a ppa but default to not update it, we might revisit that during the cycle if there is a good reason for the update
We will not update GNOME, we might update selected component later in the cycle if we feel like it's worth it
