<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I just wanted to send out a quick update on the release plans for 2015. We’ve had two more companies volunteer to submit patches this year: Samsung (Suman) and HGST (Tom). Thank you to both companies for volunteering!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Here is the updated release plan for 2015. Unfortunately, some of the patch submissions will be a little later than originally planned. Therefore, I would like to ask the question:
<b><u>is everyone ok if we push the first release out until end of August to allow for more patches to be submitted?</u></b> You can response publicly or just to me.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Other alternatives would include just having smaller releases at different cadences. I’m open to any ideas since there are still many requests for features that have claimed for patch submission.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
