I do not think I could sleep right now. I have not slept in 24 hrs. My sleep pattern is quite warped. And I am not feeling well, my nose is very congested.
So today the Flock web browser did a “soft launch”, or something, at a web 2.0 CONFERENCE. We did not make a new version of the Flock browser available to Flockstars, and, of course, this means, we have not reached our most significant immediate goal of making the Flock browser available for free to everyone, and the source code available to open source developers.
Unfortunately, you cannot change the dates of conferences, but there are a lot of excellent conferences coming up. Chris “factoryjoe” Messina and Andy “termie” Smith are not only building the Flock browser experience, but they are working on making Bar Camp Amsterdam happen. Bart Decrem will be at some events in the New York area in the next two weeks — the events names escape me, I am really tired.
This week has been an awesome one. I really am working with the most talented people! I know they are talented people, but everyone surprises me again and again.We are really close to making the Flock web browser available.
There is a some steps that we need to do before we expand the beta:
1. Clean up a few issues over the next few days.
2. Get the current version to our core user experience experts and domain experts
3. Go live with our community infrastructure
4. Get the most recent version of the Flock browser to our existing beta users — which have already provided so much valuable feedback!
Then,as rapidly as humanly possible, expand the beta until the browser is publicly available and the source code is available to everyone.
