[platform-releng-dev] 3.3 M7 build schedule

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The upcoming milestone week will span
eight days.  That's the kind of value that we provide at eclipse.org,
free software and now an eight day week.

We will be starting with a warm-up build
at midnight at  00:10 this Friday.  The European teams want to
be able to verify their fixes on Friday because of local holidays early
next week.  Consequently, all teams are asked to tag their projects
before they leave work on Thursday night.  Also, please ensure that
there are not any map file snafus that break the first build by using the
releng tool :-)
