Hi Brett,<br>
<br>
I didn't explicitly state it, but we plan to use our blogs to gather
feedback from the developer and user community to prioritize the near
term feature set and release timetable.<br>

To be frank, the 5.0.3 release goal was to make the platform robust.
This was done at the expense of delaying the features. Now, as we start
planning for the next release, you will soon find more communication
from us to help shortlist a few forge projects that could be taken up
for integration. Also, if we can make it easier in the platform for
users to easily add/remove vtiger forge modules, it might go a long way
in addressing some concerns.<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 255);">If
your primary focus really is developing partnerships, I'm a little
surprised to see this is your first post here and that you'll be

we'd all have had personal contact from you already with the objective
being to meet us and see how each of us can help.</span><br>

<br>
Well, guess i am a slow starter! Kidding aside, while it might not be
practical to meet each one, i certainly hope to meet some of you in the
coming days and weeks, as i hit the road. Meanwhile, i welcome your
feedback & thoughts. If you are available to talk, please suggest a
time that works for you.<br>

It would be great if the language and actions reflected a community
centric approach to the project too. For example, collaboration on the
roadmap would be better than the vtiger team just sharing it with us...
;-)<br>
<br>
I've watched Joe's frustration over the last few months, and it's a
huge shame. The projects he has worked on, and had to step away from,
would have been tremendous additions to the project.<br>
<br>
I implore you to engage your regional advocates with the utmost
priority - especially Joe. I look forward to seeing an announcement
about a strategic alliance formed with tsolucio within days... ;-)<br>
<br>

Sorry this is a tad negative. I look forward to tremendous positive
communications with you over the next week...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

type="cite"> Hi Joe,<br>
<br>
At the outset, i would like to put any doubts to rest. We value the
contributions from the community and strongly feel that vtiger's
success will ride on it. As far as the roadmap, and merging community
contributions, i agree that we need to do a better job at communicating
our plans and the status. vtiger user base is growing and so is the
developer and partner community. Some of these issues can be attributed
to the growing pains. We understand the need to address this.<br>
<br>
I have joined vtiger a few weeks back with the primary focus on
developing partnerships with companies like yours. Like you said in <a
target="_blank" href="http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?t=15744">this
forum</a>
post: <span>"imagine EVERY vtigerCRM install in the world,
with all their needs waiting in line for one company to satisfy them
all", i am here to just avoid that!<br>
<br>
</span>I hope to talk to you and understand your objectives.
Please
suggest a time that works for you (i am in california)<br>
<br>
Also, since this is my first post to this list, let me take this
opportunity to thank all the contributors. We will strive to keep you
informed about our plans. In the coming weeks and months we will be
sharing more details about the roadmap on our blog. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Sreenivas<br>

<div>Hello,<br>
<br>
I would like somebody on the vtiger team to contact me and tell me what<br>
to do.<br>
I am recieveing signs of "get out of here" and I don't know if it is<br>
just me that is understanding the wrong message.<br>
If it is the correct message, could you please be clear and tell it to<br>
me straight, I can leave if you want me to, no problem, no regret.<br>
I am willing to play by your rules, but I need to know what those rules
are.<br>
I still believe we could get farther together, but if you don't, it's
OK.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
Joe. TSolucio<br>
