Slow blogging
I found out at BrainShare that WWU has been accepted as a Novell Authorized Beta site for OES2 SP1. And that's what I've been doing for the better part of the past week. Due to the NDA required, I can't talk about it. So, not much bloggable stuff to bring forward.
We requested entry into the program in part because of what I learned at BrainShare 2007. Specifically, Novell doesn't test for our scales of users. Therefore, it is in our best interest to make sure that organizations like us are in the beta. We have the hardware to make a go of it right now (all those new ESX boxes are liberating some still-useful 3-5 year old servers), and I have the time. Unfortunately, the only 64-bit testing we'll be doing will be in VMWare, so the newest of the new code will have to be really tested by other people.
That's why I've been quiet.
