Not today - the Notes/Domino beta build 2 has been delayed, and won't make the February release that they'd previously talked about. We all knew this was coming, this is just the official announcement.
The Notes/Domino 8 beta 2 build will not be posted today. Internal process-wise, today is a big day as we will be making a go-no go call on the code itself, along with several other important readiness factors. After that meeting, we should have a solid date for when the public beta will be available. Though things could change, I expect it won't be more than a week or two more.
The development team is doing incredible work in coding, project management, internal communications and enablement. Let's cut them a break for being a few days off. I assure you, after running the February 15th build for a couple of weeks, it's worth the wait.
Maybe it's something to do with getting older, but I never expect anyone or anything to really hit their dates anymore, so I'm not really surprised or disappointed here. It was what we were all expecting, and what the language of past posts was hinting at.
