Since nobody has said anything about this milestone yet, dragonzkiller has announced on twitter about 6 hours ago that CM9DX2 alpha might be released either tonight or tomorrow! Big props to him for working so hard on getting ICS onto our phones.
CM9DX2 anticipation

He moved to YouTube, search for dx2 ics, you'll see his asking us to apologize, and you'll see Ubuntubrandon's mocking him with the exact same thing! Haha

His twitter feed has always been the best place to keep track of his progess, did we really need a thread?

Sure. Why not spread it around? Not everyone uses twitter. Also, not everyone uses XDA for their development needs. I bet someone here will post this topic on some other forum.
Plus, take away our ranting, spamming, and trolling, and all that xda would be is a bunch of download links.

exactly what I was saying. We should be helping.....not ripping someone for sharing good news!
I only have a twitter account set up to follow devs. I just creep looking for new posts every day. Or every second if they're about to drop a link haha

That's crazy, its almost like it would be a forum solely dedicated to development

So, I'm curious, what benefits do we get from cm9 as opposed to cm7? Ics is nice, but will there be new features? Or is it just a cleaned up GUI. I know that ics should be able to multi-thread when gingerbread can't, so is that going to happen with our phones? (my guess is not until kexec starts working)

Well as of right now, only dragonzkiller knows how much ICS it will bring us. If its a full CM9 port, Im sure we will have all of the ICS features unless some things dont work. But this is a first Alpha so I'm sure not everything will work. It's just a wait and see right now.
Im hoping for zero shutter lag, if he has the camera working.

At least it's in the general forum lol
Im sure there will be quite a few things not working at first. He's probably only releasing it because he has the main stuff working like data, wifi, cellular network, hopefully sms. I've been watching some videos on cm9 and saw that some other ports didnt have the camera working.

Correct, the issues plague almost all builds of CM9. Please keep in mind that CM9 is BASED on ICS which was "just released" so it will take some time for all the developers to get it fully functioning. There are some Alpha and Beta releases of CM9 out there. These releases are coming from a development TEAM. The TEAM for the DX2 is one, damn awesome, developer. DragonZKiller! Hashcode is helping where he can, but he remains the lead CM9 developer for other platforms. I'm helping when I can (even though I don't code or program). It will take time. CM7 wasn't developed overnight, or in a couple of weeks either. Especially when the code changed from Froyo to Gingerbread. Keep this in mind.
As of my last test build from dragonzkiller, there were some where in the neighborhood of 13-15 items on the "do not work" punch list. Since then (about 2 weeks have transpired since that build) he has fixed a good number of these items. I haven't received another test build to test out, however, I am confident that things will progress.
Also, keep in mind that dragonzkiller is developing the cm9 ROM in his spare time. He has other commitments that are much more important to him. Give him breathing room, time, and the space to do what he does best.
I for one, am grateful that we have a committed developer for the DX2. I know he will post things via twitter (@dragonzkiller or http://www.twitter.com/#dragonzkiller) when he has something to share.

More like you're being impatient and demanding and you want to throw the responsibility on someone else. Just relax. DZK has done amazing work for us and he has a life. We need to let him do things on his time table, not push him away by enforcing ours.
