indication of release dates (e.g. RC2 or otherwise)

[eswanzey]

i know, i know, it's ready when it's ready. i respect that and wouldn't have it any other way. but, it would be really helpful to know when a pending release is scheduled to be issued, such as RC2, which seems imminent but so did RC1 for a week or two. It wouldn't surprise me if people are holding back on bug reports (i know i am) so that we can get a release in our hands so that we're not just battling ancillary issues that have already been resolved.

as an aside, i would welcome this as a feature offered within some tier of the licensing model - the right to know about road maps, release dates, features in the pipeline, things like that.

@eswanzey I hear you loud and clear. It's been a sprint for us from past 2 years to get Vanjaro to official release and we're almost there. RC 2 is ready but pending internal QA approval. I'm hopeful it will be cleared for release by end of this week.

We'll soon open up invites for a future Partners Program with a dedicated channel for bi-directional feedback on roadmaps and release dates.

We're also considering adding a monthly webinar for all stakeholders for one-on-one questions; let me know if that would help as well.

Are there any updates for the official 1.0 release?

Or even a RC3. Seems to be very quiet both here and in issues. I sure hope all is well with the Vanjaro Team.

[eswanzey]

I'm pretty sure that when it does release, along with the docs and services, some among us will cry tears of joy!

[eswanzey]

but yeah..."are we there yet?" I hope that phrase translates appropriately across cultures.

Almost there! We're just waiting for the go ahead from marketing team. I don't want to commit to a date and not able to meet it; but anytime now.
