A couple of status questions:
1. When is the next Open Source Erlang release planned for? It would be
nice to have the system be generally more re-compilable. It also seems
that the Open Source version is a couple of revisions behind what Ericsson
uses internally.
2. How have the native code generation groups been progessing? The HIPE
page (not maintained by Ericsson, I realize) is getting a bit stale. With
native code generation, Erlang would be completely unstoppable, IMO :)

I hope to have one out by the end of this week...

...although it will not help you there, sorry. It will be a minor
release consisting of a bunch of patches and a newer version of
mnesia.

Yes, this is true. The *only* reason for this right now is that we had
to make a branch from the main production source when we went ahead
and released the open source release. At the same time development
proceeded in the main production branch. Right now we are working hard
to make sure that in the future we will make the main release the same
as the open source release. The aim right now is to make the next
major product release (beginning of November) this new unified source
release.
This is an exciting project from an open source perspective, a lot
more so than say e.g. Netscape, which IMO made a mistake by spawning
of the open source version as a separate project. I think we will be
in a much better position to make an impact when we have a unified
source code. I also hope all of you will bare with us until we are
there, unfortunately there are not many people working on the current
open source release (everyone is busy with the exciting work for
what's coming :-)

Sorry I don't know anything about how HIPE is doing. Anyone else?

This is loosely related to Erlang status... what is Bluetail AB and
how does it relate to Erlang? I have seen Bluetail in people's email
addresses and see them contributing to the user's conference as an
entity.

Yes, actually it is quite related to Erlang status...

That is probably best answered by one of the Blutails, but basically
it is a startup company formed by many of the previous members of the
CSLab and others at Ericsson.

It's a small startup some of us has just recently formed.
We are writing commercial proprietary software in Erlang.
We'll all continue to contribute to the Erlang community
with both code, libraries, and bits of advice.
Since we're writing all our software in Erlang, there will
probably be lots of our code that can be useful to the
Erlang community.
Cheers
