Ah, now didn’t I say marketing has
it’s own plane of reality J.
The plan certainly seems to be working. I’m
seeing a lot of press coverage on Callisto already. Thanks, Ian!

Maybe I can help out here, especially since I was responsible for
putting out the press release today. First let me assure you, you are not
in a time warp. The date for availability is still June 30th
and today is June 26th. J
The timing of the press release was done to maximize the press
coverage of Callisto. Typically, you try to issue press releases early in
the week because that is when the editors are putting together their print
editions and when most of the on-line stories are published. I
tried to be careful with the wording to balance the fact that the release date
is not until Friday.
On Friday we do plan to put a news item on the home page indicating
that Callisto is now available for download.

Anyone else notice the
top item in the Eclipse News section of the main Eclipse.org web page?
“ECLIPSE COMMUNITY
DELIVERS ON SCHEDULE…”
“The Eclipse
Foundation today announced the release of 10 Eclipse open source
projects.”
At least there’s
not a *link* to the download yet,
but… isn’t this jumping the gun a bit? The countdown timer still
correctly shows the “In 4 Days” proclamation of a *future* release.
This makes me a bit nervous…
someone tells me this is the correct way to advertise (in advance) Callisto if
I’m being overly cautious!
