Hi,

First of all, it would be great to have version 6.0 out sooner in order to support OSGIS.

Lets have a look at our status:
Right now we are in pretty good shape considering the openjdk7 transition. Moving 2 weeks back could mean that we might lose a couple of applications that perhaps won't be able to catch up with the new schedule.

As per http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/report/10 we have 5 critical tickets and 5 major ones.

Our basic problems to hit RC status are: geonetwork issue, docs not building, udig with custom JRE, mapfish, osm apps. During this last week we had a very good run and fixed some issues. If we keep up this pace we can make this new target. We will definitely need to bring in help from the above projects to speed things up. So I propose to send an e-mail out and let everyone know about our status and the new schedule.

The new release dates would be something like 25/7 UAT and 13/8 Final. We have done only one beta, but we had pretty good alpha run and solved many issues so far.

One thing I am not sure about is the availability of people involved due to vacation time...

I propose to make a beta 2 sprint until this Friday and build in Saturday. Then we can decide next Wednesday if a new build at that time will be RC1 (so we are go for the new schedule) or it will be beta 3 (and we slip back to previous schedule).

Thoughts?

Best,
Angelos

Following on from Angelos's question about OSGeoLive target date, and a comment from Suchith below re OSGIS, I'd like to float the idea of bringing our schedule forward so that we can have OSGeo-Live 6.0 DVDs ready for OSGIS, (the UK regional conference, that has been selected to host FOSS4G next year in 2013).

OSGIS is 2 weeks earlier than our prior target date, and would mean bringing our schedule forward by 2 weeks.
Ie: From today:
2 weeks to UAT
4 weeks to Final ISO (leaving only 2 weeks for UAT instead of the usual 3 weeks)

This will be a tight deadline, and might result in some applications not being ready (and hence excluded). I'm in favour of chasing this date, as I think it would be good to get the DVDs out to the OSGIS conference, but would like to hear from others on whether this is an achievable goal.

Current schedule (targeting mid Sept for foss4g 2012) is here:

Hi Cameron, we are planning to give OSGeo Live DVDs to all workshops participants. Also when is OSGeo 6 version planned release date. If you are thinking of Sep, then we will be happy to link it with OSGIS 2012, so there is good target to work for. Let me know your thoughts.
