Yes that is a very good piece of evidence----we should be receiving multiple betas this summer, not just one. So if there is to be a few betas, it would make sense for Apple to start now, hopefully today with DP4.
----------
If you look at the previous DP releases, the MacRumors news articles announcing their release were posted around 1 PM. And I remember iOS 7 was released around noon ET. I believe Apple usually releases betas at around 10 AM their time. So I think if we are going to see it today it will be around noon our time, or maybe even later in the afternoon.
So we might even see the beta arrive at 6PM GMT! Wow, I'm super excited now!! Please let this be!
"later this month"
According to 9to5Mac, the public beta is set for release "later this month." Since it's already the 21st, and there is only one Monday left in the month, and Monday is when Apple usually releases betas, I would think this points to a July 28th release. Hopefully it wont get pushed back to early August, which the article stated is possible because of the uncertain nature of development. At least we have some decent info on when we'll get this public beta.

I'm not 100% sure, but based on previous DP releases, and even releases of iOS, it seems that
releases them at 10 PM PST. So that translates to 1 PM ET.It should start appearing in peoples App stores in about 4 hours given when Apple usually rolls out its updates.

Aaah ok, we shall see in about 4 hours then.
Good point. I assumed they'd be emailing the codes but this makes more sense.
Make sure you're signed in!
So no notice otherwise, just appears in the app store if accepted and that's it? Also, I wonder if it will be the same as DP4 or something different?
You think it will be first come first serve and then no more if your not signed in yet when they run out?
It usually comes up as an App Store update and is delivered via Akami, you will get a notice in your App Store to download it.
I don't think the 1million users thing is anything to get stressed out about, anyone who has signed up will get it.
Apple will be emailing the code for Public beta of Yosemite...
Copy the code then paste via redeem button in MAS ...

Why must everyone post using obscure time zones? Just say GMT then it's easy for everyone to + or - to their respective time zones, rather than going from EST to GMT to whatever time zone they are in.
Still waiting, 4pm here! I imagine their servers are going to be absolutely creamed come launch.

We're in BST (GMT+1) over here so it's 3pm GMT.
But yeah, I'm not looking forward to seeing my "estimated time remaining"
