[jbossws-dev] Q4/2006 recap

Folks, I'd like to warm heartedly and sincerely thank you for your continuous support during Q4/2006. We managed to - make significant progress in JAXWS - bring up the WS CTS to 70% of pass rate - find our way back to a single code base. Which brings the JAXWS offering to the jboss-4.2, jboss-4.0 folks - had an excellent JBW Berlin with about 180 people attending the WS sessions I won't name you individually and won't point out specific features since you all did a great job and I would only forget stuff that is important to you. Regardless, be assured we could only achieve as we did as a team and as a team I would like to thank you. The team is not just the dev team, also the support team was doing an excellent job and making my life really easy - at least on that front ;-) Q4/2006 was great, Q1/2007 will be even bigger and more important. - We plan to do our 2.0.0 fully certified release by the end of this quarter. - We will have proper JAXWS support and documentation, quick start, etc - With the 2.0.0.GA release we will leave the "catching up" mode behind and can finally focus on new exciting areas like ESB, TX integration, WS-RM and others. Currently, we have 65 open CTS issues until certification. If on average the team manages to resolve one issue a day, we should be done by the end of this quarter. There are of course many uncertainties, but thats probably a general truth. Again, thanks for last quarter and I look forward to continue working with you. cheers -thomas PS: The future is so bright, I almost need my shades. -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thomas Diesler Web Service Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
