Subject:	SCOUG-General: May Meeting Addendum

Content Type: text/plain

Note: The following announcement was posted on the eComStation web
site at http://www.ecomstation.com on May 17th. It is repeated here
for clarity. Needless-to-say, I'm disappointed because we were
promised *the rollout* with GA code and I would not have published
the info had I known otherwise. There is no mention of a release
date on either the Serenity Systems or eComStation web sites. -

Clarifying the eComStation World-Wide Release on May 19 Announcement
from Bob St. John, Serenity Systems

Please understand that the text used to promote the SCOUG meeting was
prepared well in advance. Now, what does it mean? Well, it was
intended to mean that we believe the SCOUG meeting will see the GA
level code, the release candidate.

As Duane already pointed out, there is still a manufacturing process
and distribution to endure. So there isn't much point in sitting out
on the porch waiting for the postman, yet.

We are not rushing. We are being very deliberate. But, as Lou
Gerstner used to say, we are acting with a sense of urgency. So,
there is the balancing act of trying to be responsive, not wearing
out anyone's patience, and not screwing when we are *this* close to
having what we want to release.

I think it's fair to count the SCOUG meeting as part of the GA
launch, because that's a pretty vague statement. It does not mean
that the product is in distribution, however. But RSN.
