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.
