>> ----- Original Message -----
>>> Just a quick heads up re: next year's Eclipse Simultaneous Release.
>>>
>>> The Eclipse Planning Council is working on a plan to do 4 Neon
>>> releases: 1 main one in June 2016 followed by 3 updates in September
>>> 2016, (early) December 2016, and March 2017. This is still being
>>> finalized.
>>>
>>> Projects will be able to join the train for any of these milestones,
>>> not just the main one in June. Goal is to provide easier access to
>>> joining the train and support more projects wanting to do updates at
>>> more points throughout the year.
>>>
>>> For Mars, the plan is to do the usual 1 main release (completed back
>>> in June 2015) followed by 2 update releases at the usual dates:
>>> September and February. For Luna these were called "Service Releases"
>>> but from Mars onward they are "Update Releases", in that new
>>> features,
>>> new projects, & minor updates are now allowed.
>>>
>>> Gone is the annual monolith; long live quarterly releases!
