[chandler-users] Fwd: [cosmo-dev] Cosmo 0.17 QA Session June 20th, 1PM PDT

[Travis Vachon]

Hi bak

We're currently testing on trunk, but at some point we'll branch for  
the next release (which, as Randy pointed out this morning, is 0.16,  
not 0.17, whoops!). I'll make sure to send a note here with a link to  
the new branch head when that happens.

Thanks again for any help, and please feel free to ask any questions  
here.

-Travis
