Just so everybody is aware... Microsoft is going to release SQL Server 2005 on November 7 http://www.microsoft.com/events/2005launchevents/default.mspx. They will consume all of the database oxygen during that week. If gaining press ink is a goal (from people like Lisa V of eweek), you'll have to go next week or wait until the weekof November 14. The weekly trade pubs just won't be able to give us anything opposite Microsoft. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-advocacy-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-advocacy-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Peter Eisentraut Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 4:25 PM To: Robert Bernier Cc: pgsql-advocacy@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [pgsql-advocacy] when is the 'official' release date Robert Bernier wrote: > Sorry, wrong words ... when do you figure it will come out?

How close are we? I don't suppose there's any chance of something like Nov. 2nd? Though, maybe it'd be better to wait until after MSSQL, rather than cram ourselves between MySQL and MSSQL...

Given the scope of some recent changes, I think Nov. 8 is if anything too early -- let alone any earlier: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2005-10/msg00364.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2005-10/msg00393.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2005-10/msg00382.php -Neil

Wait, surely PostgreSQL is faster than MSSQL! I wonder what timezone we'd catch up with them in... -- Jim C.

While 8.0 was larger in scope in many respects, 11 days or so is the duration of the RC if pg the beta gets upgraded today :(. Or is pg going straight from beta to release? Merlin

Oh? I think that a date should be released publicly when it is agreed by Core. You're clearly already well into the planning of this, which is somewhat disconcerting for the rest of us.

We have been noticing some AIX 5.3 issues in testing 8.1 that seem to
at least warrant *minor* changes. Unless AIX 5.3 is to be considered
"not supported," which would definitely leave some people unhappy, it
seems to me that there would need to be at least one more RC...

Sorry, it's been discussed on a couple other lists. And, as Chris points out, could still likely slip. --Josh

If gaining press ink is a goal (from people like Lisa V of eweek), you'll have to go next week or wait until the weekof November 14. The weekly trade pubs just won't be able to give us anything opposite Microsoft. I wouldn't see this as prohibitive. In fact, we might be able to right MS's coattails into the mainstream press: "In the same month, MySQL released version 5.0 and the PostgreSQL project released version 8.1 ...." I think our code readiness is much more likely to dictate the release date. --Josh
