Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Status update on eComStation 2.0

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From:Joachim Benjamins <joachimDESPAM at DESPAMmensys.nl>

The following is a short status update on eComStation 2.0.

Almost all issues which have delayed the 2.0 GA have been resolved. Most of 
the remaining work is primarily resolving the issues with the installer and 
the integration of disparate components. The ACPI feature is now reaching a 
point that no longer should delay release, any longer. We do expect to 
continue to improve ACPI usability in the time after GA.

= eComStation 2.0 Silver Release =

This is anticipated to be the final Release Candidate, the Silver Release. 
While the last bugs are being ironed out, an initial test release will be 
provided to the Test Team asap and made available to Software Subscription 
Services customers a week after that.

= eComStation 2.0 GA Release =

The Silver Release will be feature complete. Only documentation and "fit 
and finish" items will be worked. The goal is to have the english version 
of eComStation 2.0 GA ready in August, 2009.

= Want to be in the loop? =

Join the Test Team if you would like to be the first to test the new 
releases. Please drop us a note at testteam-owner at ecomstation.nl if you 
would like to join. Of course, if you want to help out in other ways then 
testing, we always welcome active developers to join the eComStation 
Development Group, eDG.

= Twitter =

To give you more of an idea what's going on (and in fact that there is 
actually something going on) we created a Twitter feed from several 
eComStation development feeds.

  * eComStation bugtracker (resolved issues)
  * eComStation CVS changelog
  * eComStation eWiki changes
  * eComStation ACPI project at Netlabs

You can follow the eComStation Dev Team at: http://twitter.com/eComStation

= Thanks for the patience =

Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are certainly aware of the 
extreme delays this project has had and we appreciate your patience.

Serenity Systems International
