Now that 8.4.0 is out the door, development for 8.5devel will be opened any day now. But we haven't discussed the development timeline so far. The core team has several proposals:
CommitFest Alpha Aug. 1 Sept. 1 Oct. 1 Nov. 1 Dec. 1 Jan ~~ 5 Feb. 1 March 4 Release ~ May 2010 This puts us on track for a release at the same time next year, maybe a little earlier. ("Alpha" is a semiformal snapshot release at the end of the commitfest, for those who haven't heard yet. Details later.) If we want to avoid a commitfest in December, then this: CommitFest Alpha Sept. 1 Oct. 1 Nov. 1 Dec. 1 Jan. 1 Feb 1 March 1 April 2 Release ~ June 2010 But this has the drawback of waiting an extra month for the first commit fest, for no particularly good reason. (Check the current list, if you are curious.) Or, one more commitfest: CommitFest Alpha Aug. 1 Sept. 1 Oct. 1 Nov. 1 Dec. 1 Jan ~~ 5 Feb. 1 March 3 April 3 May 3 Release ~ July 2010 But that gets 8.5 out even later than this year, and past PGCon.
