It looks like the clock towards the next development Haiku R1 milestone, Alpha 2, has started ticking. In a message to the development mailing list, Haiku core developer Ingo Weinhold proposed "using the momentum of the rather productive BeGeistert coding sprint" to "initiate the final launch sequence for the alpha 2 release" and suggested May 10th as the official release date. To that end, a release branch would be created on Monday April 19th, where the release coordinator -- Ingo himself -- will be the only developer allowed to commit changes to. It is also expected that the set of features to be included in Alpha 2 will be discussed and voted upon by the project contributors, possibly next week. See Ingo's email for further details.
