Hello everyone!
We are going to do something different this time. Instead of releasing 5.1 CE a couple of weeks after the release of Pentaho's Enterprise Edition, this time we're going to release both roughly at the same time (still tbd)
In my opinion these are great news on it's own, but there's more - we're going to release a Release Candidate of 5.1 CE ahead of the main release so we can get some early testing going - and hopefully this Wednesday already!
And I need as much help as I can get testing it! We'll be creating a Jira project to collect feedback or in alternative use the pentaho-community mailing list to give feedback.
So I'd like a couple of people to help me test some of the components during next week:
* BI server (and the plugins) - 10 people
* Ctools - 4 people
* PDI - 6 people
* PRD - 4 people
* Schema workbench - 3 people
* PAD - 2 people
There's no QA plan defined, maybe next release we'll be able to have something in place, so what I ask is just for you to test it in our exiting environment, with your specific needs.
Reply to the pentaho-community mailing list or even directly to me saying what part(s) of the suite you'd like to test and an estimated ETA. Let's make this one a great release!
Thanks and I'll be back with more details, and a Release Candidate, in a couple of days!
