I recently stumbled on a very interesting page: https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/R1/Beta1/T...?version=3
== R1/beta1 Timeline ==
* **18 Aug - 25 Aug**: one week - last minute scramble.
* Don't commit anything risky.
* "Soft" strings freeze begins.
* Testing starts ramping up.
* **25 Aug**: branch {{{r1beta1}}}!
* Buildbot and Buildmaster should be generating beta1 RCs
* Don't forget about HaikuPorts!
* **25 Aug - 7 Sep**:
* ''All hands on deck'' testing of release candidates.
* Unless any unfixable showstoppers are found, don't halt the release.
* Do general polishing of release notes, website, etc. during this time.
* **7 Sep - 10 Sep**
* Finalization of the "golden masters" (should just be images picked from the buildbot)
* One final strings synchronization
* **10 Sep - 18 Sep**
* Release when ready; some window to account for unexpected delays.
