I think I would like to branch on Monday. I'll put out a notice.

Are we still thinking July 30th to create the branch, or does it
need to be done sooner for a August 3rd release target?

I saw a note from Gianny this morning about WADI and making a
versioned release. His comment was that he could make ait
available a few days ahead of time. So I guess that beg's the
question when will we release. I thought I'd summarize my
thoughts and solicit input from folks.
Since we passed CTS in early June on 2.0-M6-rc1 I think the
remaining items that I've been thinking we needed to release are:
* Fit and finish items
- look at reducing footprint
- Running DayTrader and validating the server functioning,
being consistent with 1.x where appropriate and being stable
- Performance is better than 1.x where appropriate
- Get the legal stuff out of the way.
* Functional items
- Axis indicated they were almost there with JAXWS and Dims has
been involved in the G integration
- Complete CTS testing
- Testing and documentation
On the Axis front I've been watching their dev list and there
seems to be some notion of being complete around July 20
(Friday). If we assume that is around the right time I expect we
can start a set of TCK runs on the 23rd. Allow a few weeks to
finish that process and we can put together a binary for vote
around the end of July. I guess a target release date would be
around August 3rd (nothing hard but it seems about right).
Once we have the major kinks knocked out wrt to CTS we should
probably branch (around the 30th ?) and focus on getting our
binaries out.
Based on previous e-mails I believe we are shipping the following
certified releases:
Tomcat - Axis 2 - OpenJPA
Jetty - CXF - OpenJPA
Along with the minimal assemblies.
Prasad has put together a Wiki so we can track down our
outstanding SNAPSHOTs and start getting them locked down as well.
For projects that won't be releasing I suggest we look for folks
to grab and build those projects and get the artifacts into our
repo in the SVN tree so we minimize external disruptions.
Other thoughts?
