Howdy,

Howdy,
using the momentum of the rather productive BeGeistert coding sprint, I
guess now is the perfect time to initiate the final launch sequence for the
alpha 2 release. Haiku, Inc. accepted my contract proposal for focussed
work on the alpha 2 release [1], I'm offering to take over the not
particularly popular task of the (technical) release coordination (*) at
least until my contract ends (expected in early May), but, if my spare time
permits, hopefully until the release. I would like to start a vote on
appointing me the release coordinator on Monday and, to not waste time,
also start acting preliminarily in that position at the same time. Unless
concerns are raised that is.
I am not a dev, so my vote most probably does count, but nevertheless +1
for Ingo being the release coordinator.
As noted on...
http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/R1/Alpha2/StatusAndCoordination
...I volunteer to:
* Write the website announcement/press release
* Update website front page & atwork
With regards to the "Determine press plan" item on the same page, I have
a couple of ideas:
1) Wrap up the announcement one week before release and have the various
international communities translate it into their languages in time for
release day. This would require coordination with trusted members of
each community, but I think it is doable.
2) Push the new to the new wire: not that it will guarantee any exposure
in mainstream media, but it may be a good exercise to start getting the
name out for whenever R1 is release. I can do this if you want.
Great to see a push for alpha 2! Cheers,
