Release schedule

[Jim Laskey (Oracle)]

Logistically, the team is spread out from east coast, throughout Europe and India.  I'd really like to figure out a way to have session(s) sur le réseau, whiteboards, skype, google voice, so we can have a session every 3 months and not waste time (money) in the air.  If the right (free) software isn't available, maybe we need to create a Nashorn app to handle it. :-)
