We're not going to see a new release on Wednesday, it's not that far along. Some time back, I was hopeful, but it's slowed down. Maybe they are waiting for something Big to be released, maybe the wavering over what should be in the new release (there was that notice wondering what kernel and such to use, a notice that the older kernel would be used, and then ore recently a notice that a more recent kernel would be used, I'm sure that causes delays in the overall progress). But I don't think the birthday will go unnoticed. If I was running it, I might wait for the day, make a big fuss of it that day, rather than beforehand. So there my be a chance at tshirts. On the other hand, that sort of thing seems to get in the way of the real work, so maybe not. Michael
