Discuss : Joomla! 1.5 Beta Release Date Announced here

[brian]

Congratulations to everyone who has contributed all the hard work required to bring Joomla! 1.5 to fruition.

Now the real work can begin for everyone in the community to start evaluating, testing and providing feedback.

Remember the release of 1.5 Beta is just the beginning. We all need to help now to turn 1.5 into a real production ready release.

(If you are wondering where the figures for the cost of the development of Joomla! 1.5 come from then it is from http://www.ohloh.net)

1.5 Not an upgrade but a new beginning

Congrats to the Core team! It must have been exiting to announce this on the German Joomla! Day. Ready for some serious testing...

I hope not! 12 days sounds exciting, a year not!
Great news, sometimes it's good to set a date to work with, even if it is amended later on. At least it gives the dev's a point in time. Normally you have 3 params in projects, as Joomla! is open source unpaid volunteer work, the budget is out already, so with no precise ressources parameter, at least a date is something!
Good luck getting it ready! Pressure's on now.

Nice birthday gift for me anyway if it's ready.

Congrats to the whole team and many thanks for the "one-more-thing" answer to a often "one-more-time" question asked. 

Joomla! 1.5 will be awesome for developers. :P

* Beat is marking in his and CB-testteam's agendas for next 12 months days: "Do some more compatibility tests with 1.5svn and nightly builds".

[Jack Goa]

Ooooh! Yes! Thanx guys!!!

[Fabster]

From what the rumors were telling already yesterday at the German JoomlaDay, there is not much pressuer on the dev's till october 12th. In my opinion they could release it this week but want to wait for that prominent date. 
I talked to Johan for a couple of minutes and he seemed very relaxed 

Congrats to the dev team for bringing baby Joomla! to a masters degree in only 1 year 

[The One]

Sounds great, congrats everyone. Can't wait to download this!!

[JoeJoomla]

Congratulations to all the core members and developers. Thank you guys and girls for all your hard work. Thank you also for being leaders and withstanding everything that leaders have to content with.

I'm looking forward to some celebration parties. I'll be in Paris that day, any good parties going on for Joomla! in Paris on the 12th? 

[Aris Ntatsis]

Great News! The Greek users ( we have more than 3.000 members @ our community site http://www.myjoomla.gr ) are waiting it.

We are taking place @ the major Greek digital technology exhibition dte2006 (aka comdex) @ 20-22 October, so we will be very happy to present this version there!

"We've decided to release on the 12th of October — exactly one year since we wrote our first line of Joomla! code," Johan said.

This is the best news since the 12th of October last year. 
Congrats to the whole team. 

[RobS]

[me=RobS]looks forward to 1.5 Stable[/me]
Once that is done I can start sleeping again. 

[brad]

Oct 12 here we come, bring it on!

Good work to the devs for working so hard on this, and to the community for your fantastic support

[vhv_alex]

I have announced this news in Vietnamese.
Count down from now

Off tpoic posts split to a new thread.

So why aren't you linking to them, so people can find how they relate to this topic?

The related topic thread is found here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,99860.0.html, and it discusses what 1.5 hasn't delivered in the time since it was first concieved as 1.1.

[ot2sen]

Congratulations to the core team. Exciting to move from alpha to beta release 

Now the fun begins 

[ladung]

Thanks guys. Sure it will give splendor value to my daily Joomla

[mehdi]

Well the announced release date is a good news.
However, I hope  the current Joomla 1.5 is already in  an advanced state.
I mean I don't want "a fake beta", that is in fact a true alpha (very unstable)
Anyway, I'll download a "nightly build" and take a look....

By the way, are the statistics shown at http://www.ohloh.net/opensource/software/joomla
accurate ? If not what we can keep from them ?
I's a bit weird, but according to the graphics , rhuk would have  done a code contribution of more
than 80%. I guess it is wrong ...

It was a great honor for us (the German Joomladay organization team) to be the place this news was published . I think it was really fun for Johan to do this for 150 Community-Member we have there on Saturday.
