Hi all,
We are quickly approaching our version 2.1 release. For that I wanted to send you this email to let you know that we'll soon freeze new functionality for the 2.1 release.
Our freeze is planned for Wednesday midnight 18 July. We will than use Thursday 19 until Monday 23 July to debug and fine tune intensively with our team to make sure all is coherent and tested before making the Release Candidate that should be released on the same Monday.
That should allow us to finish the final release one week later, giving time for the last fixes of reported problems.
You're most welcome to join in the debugging & testing sessions next week 
I will have IRC open on the GeoNetwork channel (see the community website for details on the channel) so people can provide feedback while we work and commit fixes & updates
This will be a first time we'll do such interactive session, so it will be a new experience for all of us that I hope is worthwhile
Ciao, have a good weekend!
Jeroen
