[WG: Sakai QA] Daily update - Re: 2.9.0 release scheduled for Friday, Nov 2 [tentative]

[Neal Caidin]

Hi All,

Because our schedule is so tight, I'm going to send daily updates to these four lists - QA, Dev, CLE release, TCC .

We still may be on track for the plan listed below, for an RC03 release on Wednesday, testing Thursday and Friday, and RC03 -> production for Friday/Monday. The biggest risk I'm seeing is just resources/local priorities. At the moment, this still seems like a feasible schedule, but I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,

Neal Caidin
