As far as I know (AFAIK) -- the reason the New Year release is moved, is to avoid working during the Winter Holidays. I would prefer not to work during the holidays this year, myself.best regards from Berkeley, California --BrianĀ On Thu, 13 Oct 2016 07:04:36 +1100, Cameron Shorter wrote:
Angelos, We will be running into our usual problem of having major decision points happening over the Christmas holiday period. (Possibly more of a issue for us in the Southern Hemisphere because it is our long summer holiday period). However, moving a few weeks either way doesn't really help much. One thing I suggest we consider is whether we decide to drop back to 1 release per year. OSGeo-Live is more stable than it used to be, and I question the return-on-effort we gain by putting out 2 releases per year. Warm regards, Cameron.
