Greetings,

It has been such a busy month for us here at ThoughtWorks Studios, with three product releases, the Agile 2010 Conference in Orlando, Florida, and quite a bit of activity happening here on the community website.  Just in case you were just as busy as we were, we have decided to provide a recap of what has been going on.

To provide a few highlights, if you visit the ThoughtWorks Studios Community, you can:

• Learn more about how Automated Testing just got better with the parallel execution capabilities of Twist 2.1.
• Find out why we are passionate about telling the world about Continuous Delivery.  Recently on the community, we announced the launch of Go 2.0;  This week we featured a great article by our own Jez Humble on the difference between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment.
• Get the details on our latest release of our Agile Project Management solution, Mingle 3.2. Enterprises using Mingle with previously unsupported source control management systems will be excited to know that we have now published documentation for building your own Mingle SCM plugin along with reference source from our Mercurial (HG) implementation. You can share plug-ins that you develop with other organizations in our Add-Ons and Extras space.
• Discuss with us the challenges that we ourselves face when developing software in our Agile Engineering Practices discussion area. This week we featured an article on Visualizing Code Complexity in Ruby Projects along with some nifty software that your team might find useful.
• Join the discussion about Agile within a non-Agile ecosystem in our Agile Transitions community.

We hope to keep up the momentum that has built up this month, but cannot do it without your participation.  Please stop by and see what we are up to.

Regards,

The ThoughtWorks Studios Team
