Introducing the new VMware Communities homepage!

What is it?

  • A single place to find the latest content from VMware Communities, VMworld.com, GoVirtual.org (the academic portal), and VIOPS (the operations portal).
  • A homepage to monitor your activity (be sure you're logged in)
  • A place to find the top community experts

This page will replace the Communities tab.

We'll roll it out quickly and continue to update and tune it based on your feedback.

VMware Communities will undergo an upgrade on Saturday, October 25, starting at 12:00 noon Pacific.

Upgrade Window Timeline:
October 25, 12:00 noon to 3pm Pacific: VMware Communities will not be available.
October 25, 3pm Pacific to October 26, 4am Pacific: All VMware Communities functions will be available except for login.

Visitors who need to post to VMware Communities when login is unavailable should make sure they have logged in before 12:00 noon Pacific, so that their VMware Communities cookie is set. Visitors who post during the upgrade window should save their postings before submitting them, since the site may go down without warning during the upgrade window. For safety, visitors are recommended only to view content on VMware Communities during the upgrade window.

Site Changes:
The following changes will be made to VMware Communities as part of this upgrade:

1. Upgrading the Communities platform from version 1.3 to version 1.10, which includes functional bug fixes.
2. Fixes for errors when attaching images to discussions

4. Ability for community moderators to move documents

I will post again here when the maintenance upgrade is complete.
