[jbosstools-dev] PLEASE READ :: Code freeze for Beta2 was for today, postponed to Tuesday Nov 6 @ ~4pm CEST

The plan was to do a code freeze for Beta2 today, but due to: a) #Sandy, which caused b) server outages, which caused c) QE delays, plus d) broken bodies, e) unexpected PTO and stat holidays this week, f) tons of untriaged issues for CR1/Beta1 to be allocated to Beta2, g) the creation of a Beta2 in place of our next milestone being CR1, h) adoption of a new process around branching & PRs in GitHub, and i) the fact that while some people knew it was coming, I totally forgot to remind everyone else that the freeze/branch was today... Max and I have decided we'll freeze/branch *on Tuesday, Nov 6*, probably close to Europe's end of day (EOD) at or around 4pm CEST. Bottom line: you now have *two more days* (plus this weekend) to get your Beta2 stuff done before the upcoming freeze. Len, this will most likely delay the end of the QE cycle by a couple days, so we'll be looking at these dates: 11/06/12 Code Freeze Beta2 11/07/12 QE Start 11/15/12 QE End if possible (or slip up to 2 days) 11/16/12 Beta2 Avail EA if possible (or slip up to 2 days) Then, if possible, here's the end of the schedule: 11/16/12 Code Freeze CR1 11/19/12 QE Start 11/23/12 US Thanksgiving 11/29/12 QE End 11/30/12 CR1 Avail EA 12/01/12 Quiet Period (for CRx respins if needed) 12/05/12 GA/Final Any questions, please ask.
