If I'm correct Planck will publish its all-sky CMB map (foreground deducted) this year. What's to be expected from this? Is another revolution coming?

If you go on their website calendar there are no events scheduled beyond Aug 2011 and release of CMB data isn't on there. I wonder if it will be 2012. Anyone know any dates?

It'll be released a little under two years from now (near the end of 2012 to the beginning of 2013).
