Re: Proposal for Apache jclouds release cadence and 1.7.0 roadmap/schedule/RM

+1 on the suggested 6-week cycle - we can always adjust later if it's  
either too slow or too fast for us to keep up with.

As regards 1.7.0, I'd rather first get an idea of what's on the  
wishlist before talking about dates. I fully agree with the need to  
put a date "out there" to help focus the discussion, but I'd rather  
get a first draft of what's even on the table, and a rough estimate of  
how much work is involved, before starting to "slice and dice" and  
come up with a tentative release date.

That said, I agree that sooner rather than later would be good, unless  
we feel there's significant chunks of functionality currently still  
missing.

Thoughts on how best to canvas opinions? We have a list of open JIRA  
tickets already - how about an email to user@ and dev@?

Happy to help with the next releases, by the way. Enjoy the road trip,  
abayer! ;-)
