On 25 August we (PSC) vote agreement on whether to go ahead with release or to postpone it. There would be an automatic revote each week until quorum is reached (basically giving us 2 postponement dates before FOSS4G). I really really really want QGIS 2.0 to be ready for FOSS4G and it would be nice to not be working on it at the QGIS HF in Brighton.</div>
