How many more DP's do you think we will have before Gold Masters?

I'm more interested in when the PB will be updated.
Just google the DP 6 updater and run it. It's so much better than the PB.
My two cents.
DP 7 - September 2
DP 8 - September 16
GM - September 30
Public Release - October 21
DP 7 - September 2
DP 8 - September 16
GM - September 30
Public Release - October 21
I was thinking that we may see PB2 being released along side DP7 on that September 2nd
I thought the Public release would have been more around the 10th (is that not when the hold the Oct. event)?
I like this, but doubt there will be 3 weeks between the GM and the GA releases. Typically, thats only a couple of days - certainly not more than a week.

AFAIK, theres no "Oct event" scheduled yet. But that does seem to be about the right time for a hardware event - a month after the iPhone event.
Since they have a new public beta program this year, I'd expect to have more than 8 DPs because they're getting way more feedback than they ever did before.
Which means :
DP7 : Sept 1st. (Public Beta 2)
DP8 : Sept 15.
DP9 : Sept 29.
DP10 : Oct 13.
GM : Oct 27.
Release : Oct 28.

Theres an iPhone event on september 10 is there a chance they could release Yosemite after the event like last year
september 1 GM
september 10 public release
or
september 1 dp7
september 8 gm
september 10 public release
september 1 GM
september 10 public release
or
september 1 dp7
september 8 gm
september 10 public release
doubtful, sources have indicated a late october lunch for yosemite. iOS8 will be the focus of the september event
There's a public page, not in the apple.com domain, that might be used to tell whether parts of the pre-release operating system are complete. That page was not a barometer for 10.6 but did seem good for 10.8 and 10.9:

Thanks, that makes sense. Digging a little deeper, it appears that:
- golden master 13A598 was seeded, without release notes, and not released
- golden master 13A603 was seeded, but not released, on 2013-10-19, presumably as a full installer (I don't recall a delta or combo update for that build)
Without commenting on the dates: there may be two pre-release golden masters.
I'm actually wondering about that too. If there will be a Public GM and a Developer GM, or just one for both. And if the PB tester will even get a GM.
My guess is that there will be a PB4 and after that either GM or public release. PB3 is way to buggy for a lot of people (no problems here though), but it is quite stable overall.
Well, time will tell! I'm happy enough to be a Public Beta tester, feels great to help
Mavericks has disappeared from that page; the disappearance was expected around this time.
Yosemite isn't there yet …

2014-10-16 18:38 nothing Yosemite-related at the page that I watch …

What is this mysterious page? Hope GM arrives soon, PB3 completely removed for everyone from purchases, might be a sign...
I would think that if the pre-release was removed, the sign might be that there was a major problem with it.
That very well may be. But why no communication on what's going on for 3 days? Just removed and thats it... How about those who already installed it. I know its a beta, but a little info wouldn't harm anyone.
