Hi there...I am here. I will give you a quick scoop, and will be announcing this likely over this weekend.
The "test" release is not the next release (R10) but will be an alpha with the 4.3 kernel and an opportunity to play with a few things.
More specifically I am planning on using Alpha 2 of ubuntu 16.04 which is released on 1-28-16. So about a week after that I will make the same alpha of wattOS available for a few brave souls.
So keep watching
- Unlike Westeros, Winter is ending here in wattOS land
Happy New Year
