[jbosstools-dev] PLEASE READ: JBT 4.1.1.Alpha2 / JBDS 7.1.0.Alpha2 codefreeze, branch, and new target platform THIS WEEK

[Nick Boldt]

Reminder of some important upcoming dates:

2013-09-25 :: New Kepler SR1 target platform 4.31.0.Alpha2 available [1]
2013-09-26 :: JBT 4.1.1.Alpha2 :: Code Freeze / Branch [2]
2013-09-30 :: JBT / JBDS Alpha2 Available to QE / Nick on "working PTO"
2013-10-02 :: QE smoke tests complete
2013-10-03 :: JBT 4.1.1.Alpha2 available to public [4] (JBDS not on EA)
2013-10-09 :: Nick's PTO ends

Mickael should have the updated target platforms [1] available some time 
on Wed, so that people will have time to try it out.

We will all then need to code freeze on Thursday - once again I'll 
generate JIRA tasks [2] for the steps required to be completed.

Then on Friday, Mickael & I will update the jobs [3] to pull from the 
new jbosstools-4.1.1.Alpha2x branches, and by EOD Saturday there should 
be bits available for me to push to QE.

Note too that from *Sep 30 - Oct 9* I'll be in Calgary on "working PTO" 
dealing with some family issues that came up unexpectedly last week, but 
I still expect to be able to get JBT 4.1.1.Alpha2 released as per the 
dates above.
