Correct that was my intention, to increase the time frame a few days beyond the hackathon and push the release to a Tuesday. Also keep in mind to have a Tuesday release we would need signatures in hand on Monday due to the 24 hour staging of the tarballs. This necessarily means that people who don't want to test at the hackathon will have to test on the weekend following it. If that's till a problem for them we could push the official release out to the 25th. But quite honestly, I want to see 1.8.0 in the hands of users (baring any show stoppers) sooner rather than later.
