We do not have a date yet, it will depend on testing 2.9 in public and any fixes we make. 

thank you

Is there an easy way to transfer to the open beta or does it require a fresh install.

I tried right clicking the bin folder, opening powershell and typing in .\DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta but that didnt work as described in an official FAQ post.

I believe the correct command line was ./DCS_Updater.exe update '@openbeta' , subtle difference but yeah its updating now

Stable gets updated every 5-6 months (as seen on the changelog dates:
