While the snow falls in my backgarden, here’s a roadmap update from Dean Lythgoe posted in the NGW List about the next GroupWise patches and solutions.

NOTE : follow the discussion on Dean’s post on Cool Solutions.

These are general guidelines and are subject to change, but this is Novell’s general plan.

Novell plans to release …
- 7.0.3 HP2 within the next 60-90 days
- 8.0.0 HP1 within the next 60-90 days, if necessary
- 8.0.1 in the first half of 2009
- 7.0.4 during the second half of 2009

Novell will release another 7.0.3 HP, if necessary.

Novell is currently hoping that 7.0.4 can be the final support pack for GroupWise 7, but that is still to be determined. Product life cycles indicate that it might.

Novell is also working on …
- a mobility solution
- a 3rd Party integration solution
(which may include the mobility solution)
- an Exchange Gateway update
- the next major releases of GroupWise
(code named Windermere and Monterrey)
- the next major release of Teaming
(code named Boulder)
