We are currently working towards the first SoaS release, with a hard launch date of April 10th, 2009 where Caroline Meeks and Walter Bender will premiere and distribute SoaS at [http://www.ncose.org/node/47 FOSSVT]]. What this means is that the current snapshots are still unstable and in testing, and that if you download and try out this software, ''it might not work yet.'' Please download, test, and give feedback - we need your help to make our launch date!
