Gordon,

Thanks for your efforts and coorporation.
Good luck with yur new job(s)

Just wondering though....

Since Redhat gave up on the RedHat distro (freely available version) it's clear that Mitel can no longer follow the path of RH releases.

You suggest that the Fedora is a good place to start. Also the 'core' maintainers of the 'old' e-smith distro are moving on to other projects.

It sounds a bit if version 6.0Beta3 is the last 'official' donation of Mitel to the community, and that Mitel has it's focus on something different (e.g. VOIP and hardware etc ;-) ).

But just to get it clear for everybody....

Here we are, Mitel SME server is as is now (Version 6.0Beta3), and the community itself has to create themselves a new 'roadpath' without the donations we used to have before from Mitel. e.g. 'End of life' for the unsupported version.

Is this the correct situation? (like the SME server is getting caught up in the waves made by the recent policy changes of the major distro's, RH-> Fedora/Enterprise, SUSE-> Novell, Ximian->Novell)

Anyway, thanks again for you all efforts, help and donations.
(never did get a clear picture of the 'core Mitel dev team ;-) )

Regards,
Hsing-Foo

Sorry to hear that.  Does that mean I need to find a new distro?


The SME Server is what this community makes it. There are plenty of
capable people on this list, both inside and outside Mitel. A release
based on Fedora core looks to be a good starting place - who's willing
to take up the challenge?

For those who have been wondering, I have also moved on to work on other
Linux-related developments within Mitel. Charlie and I have spent over
three years on this, and it's time for something new.
