You can look at transaction 355 in the release-77 discuss meeting for
the complete schedule.  Here's where we are now, according to what was
decided Sep 14:

Nov 30 - Marathon meeting 2.  (Lunch provided?)
We make the final decision as to which items go in the release and which
don't.

Dec 1 - Let the development begin!

1996

Feb 5 - Code Cut (also Registration day).
Rel-eng begins integration/builds.  Bad code is rejected and sent back
to developer for revision.  Rel-eng has 7 weeks to complete the builds,
make packs and do alpha testing.

Mar 25 - Test Phase 1
Volunteers ("friendly testers") take the new release on their private
workstations.  A few well-marked test machines in public clusters also
update.
