+1 from me, obviously. I'm not sure if it will really be the Easter weekend. It depends on the weather. :-) Help on updating the FOP website and the distribution mirror (FOP and setting up Commons) is welcome. I count on Andreas handling the announcements after the release. Thanks! :-) So, any volunteer please get to me so I can coordinate. Last time, Christian and I were coordinating the end-game (release build, upload, verify) through IM (Skype preferred) which was very helpful. My IM coordinates are on my website.
