Hi James, I'm certainly open to the idea, but I don't think I'm able to manage that, since I'm both primarily responsible for organizing FSWeekend, and have been coordinating the releases in the last few years as well. Having two deadlines come up at the same time, in addition to teaching four courses (of which two are new -> lots of preparation), a deadline for a grant proposal, and a major review paper (both Sept 30), as well as serving on a PhD defense committee and preparing a symposium talk (Nov 2 and 3 respectively), I'm not sure whether I'm alive by the start of FSWeekend. :-)
For this reason, my personal preference would be to continue regular development until FSWeekend, than allow us a few weeks for bugfixing and Beta testing. That would put the release around christmas time, which would be a lot more of an easy time for me. I agree with Heiko (see earlier post in this thread) that we should have a more careful beta testing period. Last year we had a few last minute check-ins that turned out to bite us. Let's try to circumvent that.
