Adam G answers yesterday’s posting on the RTC


Tags :


Yes I wish he had done it over here or a link, so I will give you one instead.  In his defense, I did not read all the press releases to catch a mention of the RTC being behind the GA of Sametime 7.5

But in my defense, then he is correct in his posting, it wasn't quite loud when it was announced that it would be sometime behind in release date.  I did some searching and the
first article on a Google search was an excellent article done in May 06 on DeveloperWorks.  It states the following:

The initial release of the RTC Gateway is scheduled for Q3 2006 and will be free of charge with a Sametime server. This Gateway also provides free integration with public IM communities. IBM will release four protocol connectors with the initial ship of the RTC Gateway.


Of course, that date coincides with the projected release date of 7.5 itself.  So some more reading only talked about the architecture of it.  There might have been some dates in the Lotusphere slides but I will follow Adam saying it was told to us, just not loudly.


Some more searching through articles in July across InfoWorld and ComputerWorld Hong Kong gave me the same thing.  Yes, the MS integration is 2007, mobile support is late 2006 but the RTC never hints being past the GA release date.

So there, that shows you for reading and believing me in any way :-)
