I’m pleased to announce that the Team Concert Client for Visual Studio Client beta is now available for download. It’s a fully functional preview of what we will be shipping as part of the Rational Team Concert 1.0.1.1 release slated for the first quarter of 2009. The client will be available, at no additional cost, […]

When I was young, I used to wile away time dreaming of what my future ideal home would look like and where it would be. It tended to include things like curved floating staircases, open concept rooms, lots of art, and was usually located in some exotic or ultra-cool location on the planet nowhere near […]

This week at the Rational VoiCE of the Client event, a colleague of mine and I will be hosting design feedback sessions on the next rev of the Rational Jazz Foundation Web UI.  If you are planning to be at the event and want to talk Jazz, please stop by the Wakefield Room and sign […]

A personal build is an automated build that runs against code in a developer’s private repository workspace instead of code in the team’s shared stream. Here is what the […]

I’d like to update everyone on the progress of the Team Concert Visual Studio client. Some of you may of seen demos at various conferences over the last year, but in reality we’ve only been able to start serious development of the client after we shipped Team Concert at the end of June. The first release […]

Now that Rational Team Concert 1.0 is available, it’s time to start a series of blogs that I’ve been planning for a long time. The Jazz team has been self-hosting since the summer of 2006 and since then our infrastructure and repository have grown over time. I’d like to share with you some facts about […]
