Nexus S went on sale yesterday morning in the US, running Gingerbread.
Just like I did for Froyo, I'm open-sourcing the matching Android
platform source code, right after the first consumers get their hands
on it. I'm going to start literally right now, and the process will
take a few hours.
I'll give more details once the source code is available. However,
there are three aspects that you need to know ahead of time:
-As part of the process to push the source code, there will be some
points in time when the master branch doesn't build. Sorry about that.
If you're working on the master branch, I recommend that you don't
sync until I send an "all clear" when I'm done and things look good.
Other branches are expected to work fine as soon as their manifests
are created.
-Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there
are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against trying to use
Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to unlock
or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus B
(where B means "brick"); I have two of those, they're not very useful.
I'll send some guidelines about what is currently possible once I've
finished pushing the source code.
-Please take it easy on the kernel.org servers. They are very helpful
in hosting the AOSP source code, and I don't want to hurt the high
quality of their service with an onslaught of full Android downloads.
If you're not going to immediately work on porting Gingerbread to
devices with the intent of distributing the result to end-users, I'm
kindly asking that you wait a few hours or a few days before you
download it (just roll a 6-sided die and wait that long). In addition,
the slower the servers are, the harder it is for me to do the push.
Thanks for being patient.

Lets try to do as the man said and not bork the servers. If your not a dev don't even bother with it.
P.s. this isn't directed at anyone particular

Are you sure? It felt like you were singling me out man. I dont like being singled out. (Sarcasm, just in case it wasn't implied)
Is the nexus S in tmobile stores? Im going to go and fool with one today if it is just to see what the gingerbread hype is about. So since they're pushing it does that mean the nexus 1 will be getting it soon?
too late...Please, don't. Last thing we want is to launch an involuntary DDoS attack on Kernel.org .

Yea, I repo synced twice said it found quite a bit of new code... alot actually... then synced again... and downloaded nothing.. but maybe you could be right.
