Sorry for the block quote:

Phrasal verbs can be so very confusing. Yes you are correct. I suggest 
moving the dates into the future to allow for everyone to relax a bit and 
be in tune for the next releases.

I believe the 22nd would be best, unless others have differing input to the 
date selection.


*Push or pull? I asked a colleague and they thought push forward would be 
to advance toward/through the difficulty, and pull forward would be to move 
something closer. I asked another and they expressed a reversal of the 
terms in the contrary.
