Next week is a big week for Tripwire’s vWire team!  We officially launch another new free VMware utility, and we launch our new community that focuses on virtualization issues.

We are running as fast as we can, but I want to take a minute to reflect about our friends who have helped us by kicking the tires on our early release of the free utility and on our beta community.  Nearly 70 people, both inside and outside of Tripwire, have joined the community and provided invaluable feedback.  When they encountered issues they took the time to report them to us and they were patient while we made improvements.  Thanks!

You may be familiar with phrases like “go ugly early” or “fail early and fail small”.  The idea is to get early feedback from users and make lots of incremental improvements.  This depends on people who will take their time to use less-than-perfect products and provide timely feedback.  I am amazed at people’s willingness to help when asked.  We will do more of this in the future.  Mo beta is betta!
