[sakai2-tcc] Draft announcement for Release Candidate 01

[Steve Swinsburg]

Well done all!

Quick question regarding the QA servers. Should the longsight server be the primary one listed? It may be the only one running this tag at this point in time, however, it does makes it look like it is the official Sakai supported and endorsed QA server.

Perhaps the sakaiproject QA servers (or just one) should be built with this tag before the announcement, to remove any perceived bias? After all we should be using Sakai infrastructure for this, shouldn't we?

cheers,
Steve

The typical schedule, from the first release candidate to final release, is usually 2 or 3 more iterations of testing and bug fixing. Rutgers has been running with a 2.9.0 based on the Beta 02 version under load for several weeks, with success. A stretch goal for a 2.9.0 GA (general availability) is mid-October, a feasible date is late October/early November, and it is highly likely we will have a release before Thanksgiving. New bugs found and community participation in fixing bugs and testing fixes are the biggest factors for the release schedule.
