David Gilmore, did you ever get in the 8.5.2 beta?

Did you ever get into the 8.5.2 beta? There’s a definite surge of interest/activity around DDE’s weird/flaky behavior in various areas, and it could really use your interaction if you could spare the time.

Subject: Sadly, Erik, I did not…

  • While we are a BP, my company hasn’t seen fit to replicate that forum for two years despite repeated, insistent requests, pleas, and outright begging. That is the only way I know of to join a beta.

  • I’d happily be a part of this if I knew how. For instance, I may be able to join using PW or some such, but since I don’t know how to do that, and I don’t have the time to poke around on that site (which I finally terminally impossible to navigate or search), I consider that avenue closed to me at present.

  • If you have a link to a page where I may sign up I’ll do it immediately. I can toss client & server on VMs and have at, though that won’t likely happen before this weekend.

Thanks for asking…

Subject: Here you go David

Wow, this took me 10 minutes of hunting before I went back to a post on Ed’s blog where he was responding to a post on MY blog asking me to be in the managed beta.

Log in with your IBM ID and you should be able to apply to the 8.5.2 Managed Beta. If you don’t get any movement on your end or that doesn’t work, let me know and hopefully I can just give you Jan Kenny’s contact details directly to be let in. Let me know if you have problems and I’ll see if I can help.

Subject: Thanks Erik! Submitted…
