You are cordially invited...

So yesterday evening with the usual attendant last minute quivers and quobbles around releasing we pushed out 0.7.1 and started increasing the number of possible users by sending invitations.

Releasing software is 50% anticipation and 50% dread, so today will be slightly unreal. Even if it is 0.7.1 and not 1.0 in a lot of ways we have made a 1.0 just because an ever larger population of users is going to be exposed to it and are going to be expecting 1.0 delivery.

So its keeping feet on the ground time.

Oh and watch the press.

Re: You are cordially invited...

If you email me with the email address you used when applying I'll find out. The initial batch is out and it will be increased day by day.

Re: You are cordially invited...

I sent an email yesterday, but got a delay/retry notification, so I'm not sure if it made it to you or not. I used the address ed AT edholloway -dt* com and signed up on 10/7.

Thanks for checking in to this for me, and congrats on the launch!

Merry Christmas to all...

Re: You are cordially invited...

Once the Luxembourg colocation is up and running we can start to be a lot freer with turning round the requests.
