First all, I would like to thank @maany for all the great work he’s been doing as the Platform 2.0 release manager. As some of you might already know, Mayank was accepted for an internship this summer which I believe he has started and most likely will have less time to work on the release process going forward so we need to give him a hand in getting the release out. I sent him an email to confirm his availability and to confirm if he intended to do the release but haven’t yet had a response from him.
I took some time and went through all unresolved platform 2.0 tickets, majority of them seem to have the work done and possibly just need to be closed, I’ve been commenting on them, if you happen to see your name mentioned in a ticket comment to confirm its status or needs to be closed, can you please find some time to give an update or close the ticket if you consider it done.
My understanding is @maany was having some internet issues. I just saw this response to @wyclif:
Hey Wyclif!
I was unable to host a rest endpoint test sprint for the REST-WS module. I can set it up this weekend. Once that is complete, we should be good to go ahead for a Final release.
I did not have good internet here until today and will follow up on all the remaining tasks on the weekend. I can make the release by end of next week.
Kind regards
Mayank
@maany, just let us know how the community can help. Platform 2.0 ftw!
I am working on a script to auto populate rest endpoints in the Google Sheet to reduce data entry for testers. But even without the auto-population, I think we are good to start the test sprint. After you guys have deliberated over this in today’s PM call, I will announce the sprint.
Things are moving slow for me from Geneva due workload at CERN and internet issues back at the hotel. I do not intend to delay the release any further and I feel it would be in the best interest of the community if someone can take care of the for the above 4 steps in the meantime. I am always happy to answer and provide any information needed that may be required. Hope we can get Platform 2.0 out soon
I would like to work on TRUNK-4901
can do so tomorrow, can someone assign me the issue? it still needs assessment.
we have been discussing the issue at difference voided and discontinued order
I updated the REST testing wiki page to include the rudimentary tests which use REST that need to be performed, I’ll be posting to talk soon asking for volunteers to help with the testing.
As I mentioned in my recent comment on the ticket, I guess the test isn’t a big requirement so I should be able to merge the code later today and close the ticket.
I’m working on release notes wiki page and announcement blog. I can share everything with you @wyclif by tomorrow night.
@surangak, @raff and @sunbiz We plan to release FHIR , REST and OWA modules with Platform 2.0 final release. We will try to make the Platform 2.0 artifacts available on Nexus this week (I know @dkayiwa and @wyclif are working on RESTWS-605 and we can get started once that gets resolved).
Do you foresee any blockers or do you think everything should work smoothly with releasing the modules against Platform 2.0?
@dkayiwa discovered an issue with setting global properties that contain a dot in the name. He’s investigating, will create a ticket, and @wyclif will help sort this out.
Hope we can get Platform 2.0 out soon 
will be watching this thread for your results. Thank you!
