Post by Tim Blokdijk »

GPG starts to Beta test SupCom, I asked if SupCom beta testers would be required to agree to a NDA preventing them to work on or be involved with the Spring project.

It should not be a problem, for the people that like to do so.

You can read the topic about it here http://garage.gaspowered.com/?q=node/6499

Sooo... in short, people can apply to the beta, and participate in it, but they will not be NDA'd. Probably smart on GPG's part- a semi-public beta means their product is almost done- so there isn't a whole lotta point in an NDA, news would probably leak anyhow, and they want the additional buzz.

I am not interested in beta-testing SupCom- I'd rather just keep concentrating on Spring, which has better long-term prospects anyhow. But it's nice to know I could apply ;)

No idea about the SupCom beta, I'm not going to test it, I'm quite busy with Spring and I'm also not going to install let alone buy a Microsoft Windows OS.

You can however download and test the new 0.73b1 Spring beta if you like http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7286 just download the exec Jelmer posted. 8)

But anyway, I'm interested in reading some reviews of the SupCom demo, I guess SupCom Universe will have one as soon as the demo is available, but also a more in depth review would be interesting.
