[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen Test Writing Day

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Just to add some clarification on the dates, test-writing day is 
scheduled for today, November 17 and the point release is scheduled for 
tomorrow, November 18.

I clarified the dates in IRC earlier when I realized there was confusion 
on the dates, but I neglected to send a follow-up email to the lists.

Liam, I don't know how you want to proceed on re-scheduling or not, but 
I think it's fine to continue today.
