If we don't need another RC, then I hope someone volunteers to be the RM for
0.9.5 in December, before so many changes go in that the scripts may need
fixing.

Ok Alex,
so if Piotr, Om, or Yashay could try next RC maybe we could check it works
for all. As soon as we have 2 different persons running successfully in two
different machines I think will got it. Although maybe we don't need other
RC... maybe could be good to try a new RC just for the purpose of check
all the process, always taking into account that someone of the latest RMs
have the time? I think getting success on this will make all of us more
confident that we get finally a release process 1.0
thanks!
Carlos
