[8u-communication] JDK 8u60 timeline

[Rob McKenna]

With the planned JDK 8u40 GA date [1] around the corner its time to start thinking about 8u60. I've published a proposal for the key milestone dates relating to the 8u60 release:

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/releases/8u60.html
  
December 2014 	8u-dev forests begin collecting 8u60 fixes (completed)
March 2015 	Feature Complete 	
May 2015 	Rampdown 1 	
June 2015 	RampDown 2 (Fork for the stabilization forests)
September 2015 	GA

Note that these timelines are preliminary only and are subject to change. Please refer to the JDK 8 milestones definition page [2] for a summary of what each milestone consists of. Please submit objections by Friday the 6th of March 2015.

Thanks,

	-Rob
