Honestly, I'm not comfortable shipping an alpha four days from now. I did a clearout of the review queue last month, but that's not yet complete, and I'd like someone to have a more structured look at the queue (or just to look at all ...) to find stuff that should make it into the next release. Currently, we have at least Derek's zombie series, my atomic series and Pekka's clone-mode series, which are all unlikely to land before Tuesday, but are seemingly very close to having at least their foundations land. I think it would be best to announce a date before FOSDEM, but make sure we have a good handle on the state of the tree before we do and make sure we don't unnecessarily drop things. That would include keeping a close eye on how it develops, rather than just running release.sh on a strict timer. I was pretty unhappy last time when we put out a release in the middle of discussing a possibly-critical patchset; reading the list would've pointed to a few hours' or one day's delay as being helpful, but in the end the release just abruptly went out and made the whole thing moot. Given how much we could potentially be landing, I think we would need someone more actively involved (patch-herding, review, testing, list/IRC discussion) to handle the release process; I'm happy to do that for this release. > - Beta on Tuesday, Jan 30 > > - RC1 on Tuesday, Feb 07 One week here seems a bit short, especially on the suggested dates; a lot of people could miss that entire week travelling to and from FOSDEM.
