[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.8 Beta 5 Ready.

[Berg, Alan]

Hi fellow hard workers,

As Anthony Whyte recently announced Sakai 2.8 beta 5 is ready for testing.

I would like to thank the QA leads, QA admins, Unicon, Longsight, Rsmart, Marist, Rutgers and the cast marked on the testers wall for their persistent and important efforts during the testing period. Seth Theriault thank you for your support with the low level stress tests and Anthony Whyte and Steve Swinsburg for the MySQL conversion script verification. Seth Theriault is in the middle of the Oracle verification as you read.

Test Fest today.

For those of you that have time to swarm then there is a Test Fest planned for every Friday. Details can be found at:

Rob Egan (Marist), Corey McGarrahan (rSmart) are the coordinating leads.

QA leads

Excellent work again.

Internationalization - David Roldan Martinez

Still a big hint - I am still looking for a few pillars in the community with specific expertise such as security, UI.
