Adjust your timelines
by Volker Weber
Two days ago I reported that IBM will not be shipping Sametime 7.5 for the Mac. They will continue to provide beta versions but will not ship a supported version until next year. Today we have two more adjustments:
- The RTC gateway which connects your Sametime server to other networks won't ship with Sametime 7.5, but sometimes later. They are now talking late 3rd quarter, which translates to a very long September. Update: Adam Gartenberg says that shipping the RTC gateway after 7.5 was announced as early as Lotusphere and he is right. I checked my notes.
- The Mac Notes client is supposed to ship with the 7.0.2 maintenance release. However there is no beta version yet. It was expected to coincide with the 7.0.2 Beta 2 released today, but it is being delayed until end of August to resolve a higher percentage of outstanding ship stopping bugs. The exact beta plan has not been finalized
Adjust your timelines accordingly.
