Last night WordPress 2.0.5 leads Ryan Boren and Mark Jaquith made available a release candidate.
Download it (zip, svn), report bugs, and discuss it on the WordPress testers mailing list. If there are no severe issues it will likely be released within about 10 days.
Julia and I attended the first of three Monday evenings with Helga Beer.

Since I first met Matt just over a year ago, he was a leader that I respected. He is incredibly thoughtful, articulate, and action oriented. The opportunity to work with him was a significant reason in my decision to join Automattic.
Matt being action oriented, and also modest, likely contributes to his blog being “crisp”.
“You have some great things to say Matt, you should say them more often, perhaps here, for those of us who don’t get to hear you on a regular basis.” wrote Mike Little.
I enjoy when Matt is talking, so I appreciate that he keeps a non-chronological?! listing of all his speaking.
My favorite talk of his currently is the first 100k users are always the hardest (audio:mp3) which he gave to BayCHI in August. What is yours?
